Spatial Period of Laser-Induced Surface Nanoripples on PET Determines <i>Escherichia coli</i> Repellence

Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on surfaces are associated with persistent microbial contamination, biofouling, and the emergence of resistance, thus, calling for new strategies to impede bacterial surface colonization. Using ns-UV laser treatment (wavelength 248 nm and a pulse duration of...
