内容简介

Mike Wilson, Jonathan Pratten, and Ivan P. Parkin* For many years there has been an interest in the development of anti-microbial materials and coatings.[1,2] With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria over the last decade, and with concern over the prominence of healthcareassociated infections (HCAIs), this interest is increasing. Anti-microbials can be used in a patient environment to reduce infection rates,[3,4] but also have applications in waste-water treatment and in the efficient production of safe drinking water through the enhancement of solar sterilization.[ 5] Many compounds have been utilized for their antimicrobial action including silver,[6–8] copper,[9–11] and poly(ethylene imine),[12,13] but the longevity of such materials may be hindered by leaching of the active components out of the coating. This leaching effect is also likely to cause rapid development of resistance in bacteria.
