Abstract

A superhydrophobic and antibacterial surface on a glass substrate was fabricated by One-step phase separation method using the polycarbonate polymer and solvent \ non- solvent. The resulting surfaces showed a static water contact angle (CA) of 154° and excellent inhibition percentage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. FESEM showed that the surface structure comprised branches or petals outside the "plant seabed's" formation, in addition to related AgNps and Ag with a rough structure. In order to test the stability, bacteria suspensions were poured above the surface and allowed to settle on top of the surface for several minutes, then, an Anti-adhesive effect of colonies bacteria evaluated with a very small percentage of bacteria adhesive on surfaces. This preparation method is advantageous as it does not require complicated or high-cost materials and is environmentally friendly and highly efficient.
