[0051] Table 1 Test Results

[0052]

[0053] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the contact angles of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2 are basically the same, while the contact angle of Comparative Example 1 is the largest, and the contact angle of Comparative Example 3 is also relatively large.

[0054] From the appendix Figure 1 It can be seen that the appearance of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 is basically the same. Comparative Example 3 has fewer needle punctures, but overall, Comparative Example 3 is close to Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2.

[0055] From the appendix Figure 2 It can be seen that after 5 minutes of contact with microorganisms, Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 showed a high degree of microbial adhesion, while Comparative Examples 1 and 3 showed a relatively low degree of microbial adhesion. Although the microorganisms in Comparative Example 2 were slightly worse than those in Examples 1-3, they were better than those in Comparative Examples 1 and 3.

[0056] From the appendix Figure 3 It can be seen that after 25 minutes of contact with microorganisms, Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 showed a very high adsorption capacity for microorganisms, which basically completely covered the substrate. However, Comparative Examples 1 and 3 showed very low adsorption capacity, with only a small amount of microorganisms adhering to the substrate. The adsorption capacity of Comparative Example 2 was worse than that of Examples 1-3, but better than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 3.

[0057] From the appendix Figure 4 It can be seen that the hysteresis lines in Examples 1-3 are relatively far from the center line, indicating strong magnetism. Comparative Examples 1 and 3 are slightly worse, while Comparative Example 2 is the worst.
