The changes in structure periods the microscale strongly affect initial bacterial adhesion.
Starting from a simple concept, transferring the shape of an interference pattern directly to surface material, method Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) has been continuously developed in last 20 years. From lamp-pumped high power diode-pumped lasers, DLIP permits today for achievement impressive processing speeds even close 1 m<sup>2</sup>/min. The objective: improve performance surfaces by use periodically ordered micro- and nanostructures. This study describes years evolution...
