Bacteria Adhesion of Textiles Influenced by Wettability and Pore Characteristics of Fibrous Substrates

Bacteria adhesion on the surface is an initial step to create biofouling, which may lead to a severe infection of living organisms and humans. This study is concerned with investigating the textile properties including wettability, porosity, total pore volume, and pore size in association with bacte...
