Anti-microbial Self-Assembling Click Monolayers utilizing Silver Nanoparticles for Indwelling Medical Devices

The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize antimicrobial, silver nanoparticles based self-assembling monolayer coatings, for use on chronic indwelling medical devices. The coatings are comprised of novel biomass mediated silver nano particles (SNP) that are biocompatible, highly...
