Abstract | Cited by

We report the development of ordered shape-controllable microbump structures on protein hydrogels using polystyrene honeycomb templates. Addition of protein nanogels results in the formation of hierarchical nano-on-micro structures and increases surface hydrophilicity by over 55%, exhibiting bacteria repellency 100 times stronger than a flat hydrogel surface composed of the same protein.
