- Alternative Antimicrobial Approach: Nano-Antimicrobial Materials (2015, background): “Polymeric nanosized antimicrobial agents are known to have long-term antimicrobial activity: they are nonvolatile and chemically stable, can bind to the surface of interest, and hardly permeate through biological membranes such as the skin [132].”
- A polycationic antimicrobial and biocompatible hydrogel with microbe membrane suctioning ability. (2011, background): “and so on, in solution form, have been reported to disrupt the pathogen cytoplasmic membrane, and some have impressive selectivity for bacterial over mammalian cell”
- A Shape‐Adaptive, Antibacterial‐Coating of Immobilized Quaternary‐Ammonium Compounds Tethered on Hyperbranched Polyurea and its Mechanism of Action (2014, background): “Such contact-killing coatings have potential in widely-varying applications, including but not limited to surgical equipment and protective apparel in hospitals,([16]) medical implants and wound dressings,([17]) water purification,([18]) food packaging materials([19-20]) and industrial equipment.”
- Antimicrobial Polymers in Solution and on Surfaces: Overview and Functional Principles (2012, background): “Further biocide release systems in general and microbe repelling surfaces are extensively discussed in recent reviews [14,15,21–24].”
- Chitosan as a Wound Dressing Starting Material: Antimicrobial Properties and Mode of Action (2019, background): “The most suitable antimicrobial polymer should be easy and inexpensive to synthesize, stable for long-term usage, biodegradable and non-toxic, and most importantly, have a biocidal effect to a broad spectrum of pathogens [207].”
- Silver-nanoparticle-embedded antimicrobial paints based on vegetable oil. (2008, background): “Silver and silver-based compounds are highly antimicrobial by virtue of their antiseptic properties to several kinds of bacterium, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus”
