Abstract :
In this paper, we investigate the bacterial adhesion behaviors of microstructured PEG and PMMA surfaces. Microstructures on PEG and PMMA surface were fabricated using capillary lithography mediated by ultraviolet (UV) exposure for PEG and heating for PMMA to control the roughness of surface in terms of manipulating size and shape of patterns
