Attachment of bacteria to teflon and buna-n-rubber gasket materials

Surface analysis of buna-N-rubber and teflon was performed. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the topography of both materials and x-ray microanalysis identified the elemental chemical composition of the polymers. Teflon was primarily a smooth surface with random irregular spots, whil...
