Figure 1: Bacterial adhesion on self-assembling monolayers (SAMs)

Caption

Plot of energy dissipation(D) vs shift in resonant frequency (f) for hydrophobic and hydrophilic protein-adsorbing SAMs and hydrophilic protein-resisting SAM at n =3 (3rd overtone, red) and n = 13 (13th overtone, blue) to understand time progression of bacterial adhesion.
