Supporting Videos for the Master Thesis:
Antifouling properties of plastron forming, ultra-porous, superhydrophobic DCP- and PFPE-based coatings
by Georg Breilmann
The Master Thesis was done in the Working Group Biointerfaces of
Prof. Dr. Axel Rosenhahn in the Analytical Chemistry Chair, Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
The Videos show five different coatings after a static diatom attachment assay with the algae strain Navicula perminuta. The plastron forming samples were handled with a diving bell and were exposed for the first time after incubation to air. The bursting of the plastrons are presented in the Videos.
