Algal Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Biotechnological Potentials (2016, background): “The positively charged moieties of the compounds are attached to the negatively charged bacterial membrane by weak electrostatic interaction, followed by the insertion of hydrophobic tail of the compound in to the bacterial hydrophobic membrane core leading to the denaturation of structural proteins”
Alternative Antimicrobial Approach: Nano-Antimicrobial Materials (2015, background): “These polymers provide wide structural versatility by the alteration of hydrophobicity, molecular weight, surface charge, and other parameters [120].”
Antimicrobial Polymers with Metal Nanoparticles (2015, background): “Silver nanoparticles are the most used antimicrobial filler in polymeric nanocomposites [48].”
