Fabrication of well-dispersed and highly stable carbon nanomaterial containing (GO and SWNT) polymer nanocomposite of PVK-GO and PVK-SWNT is reported. The stable dispersions (PVK-GO, PVK-SWNT) were then electrodeposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) to create thin films. The resulting surfaces were observed to be highly effective in preventing bacterial colonization and biofilm formation as compared to the unmodified surfaces.
