An antiadhesive nanofilm has been designed and prepared in one step in water onto commercial poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) by mimicking the external region of cell membranes. The resulting biomimetic surfaces are effective in suppressing protein adsorption as well as bacterial and mammalian cell adhesion.
