Fig. 8From: Evaluation of Protein Adsorption on Atmospheric Plasma Deposited Coatings Exhibiting Superhydrophilic to Superhydrophobic PropertiesAttachment of S. aureus SH1000 to Fg-coated and uncoated plain titanium and fluorosiloxane-coated superhydrophobic (SH) titanium. Attachment is expressed as the % cells attached. The attachment rates of SH1000 to uncoated plain titanium, Fg-coated SH titanium and uncoated SH titanium were compared to Fg-coated plain titanium, which this was assigned a value of 100 %. Experiments were repeated three times and standard deviations indicated. Asterisks denotes a significant difference (P < 0.001)Back to article page
