ABSTRACT
The surfaces of comb-like poly(oxyethylene) derivatives with n-alkylsulfonyl side groups were more effective at reducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion than the surfaces of common materials such as polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(dimethylsiloxane), fluorinated polyacrylate, and glass. When the comb-like poly(oxyethylene) was mixed with polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate), the topology and roughness of the surfaces varied according to the mixture compositions. However the surface energies of the mixtures were close to that of the comb-like poly(oxyethylene) in the range of 21-23 mN/m and bacterial adhesion resistances of the mixture surfaces were also comparable to that of the pure comb-like poly(oxyethylene) surface.
