%X We found a reduced colonized area ofE. coli for NaMAS containing copolymers in comparison to pure PAN materials, whereby the bacterial colonization was similar for copolymers with different nNaMAS amounts. A different adhesion behavior was obtained for the second tested organismB. subtilis, where the implementation of negative charges into PAN did not change the overall adhesion pattern. Furthermore, it was observed thatB. subtilis adhesion was significantly increased on copolymer samples that exhibited a more irregular surface roughness.
