Abstract: Topography nanostructures have been extensively studied to reduce bacterial adhesion in medical, food and industrial contexts. Fibres have also been used in energy, water and wastewater treatments, and medical applications. Nanosized fibres, however, have rarely been analysed in interactions with bacteria, and they have always been found to inhibit bacterial adhesion and proliferation. We discussed here the size effect of polymer nanofibres on the attachment of bacteria. As a model system, a 3D self-standing electrospun nanofibrous poly(e-capro...
