Characterization and bacterial adhesion of chitosan-perfluorinated acid films

- Chitosan films properties are affected by the addition of perfluorinated acids.
- Chitosan degradation temperature diminishes with the fluorinated chain length.
- Chitosan amorphous character increases with the fluorinated chain length.
- Chitosan-PFOA affects lipid bilayers in various cell lines.
- Chitosan-PFOA presents bioadhesivity respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
