Abstract：
:Microbial contamination of polymer surfaces has become a significant challenge in domestic, industrial, and biomedical applications. Recent progress in our understanding of how topographical features of different length scales can be used to effectively and selectively control the attachment and proliferation of different cell types has provided an alternative strategy for imparting antibacterial activity to these surfaces. Among the well-recognized engineered models of antibacterial surface topographies, self-organized wrinkles have shown particular promise with respect to their antimicrobial characteristics. Here, we critically review the mechanisms by which wrinkles form on the surface of different types of polymer material and how they interact with various biomolecules and cell types. We also discuss the feasibility of using this antimicrobial strategy in real-life biomedical applications.
