CONCLUSIONS The su succes cess s of fun uncti tion onaliz lizat ation ion and coati ting ng treatments was highlighted by XPS or FTIR analysis that showed the presence of different biomolecules of the mint oil on the surface of the samples, according to the different procedures. The coati ting ng on both stainless steel and Ti6Al4V samples resulted stable le also after 7 days of soaking in water, as observed by fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, the tape test performed on steel samples showed a good stability of the coating which was increased by a higher roughness of the surfaces before the coating procedure. The coated steel samples were also washed with acid and basic solutions in order to test the resistance to cleaning and analyzed by means of FTIR spectroscopy which showed that the coati ting ng resis ists ts to basic ic cleane ner r and has only a little damage after acid cleaning. The mint coating on steel showed the ability to reduc duce e the e E. coli sur urfa face ce contamina ntaminati tion on highlighting an anti-adhesive behavior. The procedure of coating and functionalization performed with an essential oil seems to be a promis mising ing strategy egy to exploi loit t their eir antiba ibact cterial erial activi vity ty for both non-implantable and implantable applications in biomedical field and it can be easily extended to other essential oils. 16
