Aerosol-Assisted Plasma Deposition of Hydrophobic Polycations Makes Surfaces Highly Antimicrobial

Aerosol-Assisted Plasma Deposition of Hydrophobic Polycations Makes Surfaces Highly Antimicrobial

The currently used multistep chemical synthesis for making surfaces antimicrobial by attaching to them hydrophobic polycations is replaced herein by an aerosol-assisted plasma deposition procedure. To this end, N,N-hexyl,methyl-PEI (HMPEI) is directly plasma-coated onto a glass surface. The resultan...
