Abstract:Hydrogels find diverse applications in manipulating bacteria, and serving purposes like elevation, maintenance, and elimination. Several factors of hydrogel have been studied in the benefits of antibacterial activity. Factors such as hydrogel stiffness and roughness gain significance in surface coating, influencing bacterial behavior. However, the intricate interplay of hydrogel stiffness, roughness, polymer types, and bacterial species necessitates further exploration. The choice of polymer is dictated by the… Show more
