摘要：Biofouling, in general, refers to the undesirable accumulation of microorganism, algae, plants andanimals on wetted structures. The same can cause bacterial infections in medical appliances. Current antifoulingagents used are costly, toxic, unstable and mainly used in non medicinal applications. Here we have coated surfaceof glass and some medical appliances using a simple chemical surface modification technique based on dip-coatingand studied their antibacterial and antifouling properties. This work will lead to a simplified and scalable techniquetowards designing benign and antifouling surfaces for any medical applications.
