"An important application for public #health is generating anti-biofouling coatings on sanitary ware. For example, PDMS-grafted surfaces prepared on a regular-size toilet bowl exhibit a 10^5-fold decrease in the attachment of #bacteria from urine. These findings highlight the significant potential of #mechanochemical processes for the practical preparation of liquid-like #surfaces."
