Can you use the same technique to produce mold-resistant plastic for showers and baths?

  YES! But the grout has us a little confused. Ya know, because it's not plastic and what not. We could make a film to place on top of your grout, but we aren't sure about that yet. We are afraid that when we nanotexture the floor of a shower (or apply a polymer film on top of the tile) that the surface will become a hazard to someone trying to take a shower*. I'd also like to see this on my toilet seat, so I can be lazy and not lift the seat up (lol). We did do contact angel testing and imaging of urine on the structures but left it out of our analysis since it didn't apply to catheters. The contact angel's were GREAT, and the images looked good, but again we didn't do a real analysis of the results. EDIT: included the comment about nanotexturing the floor of a shower.

If so, don't worry about it. My shower floor (plastic, not tile) has ~millimeter-sized bumps that make it not slippery at all.
