Antimicrobial Polymers with Metal Nanoparticles
Metals, such as copper and silver, can be extremely toxic to bacteria at exceptionally low concentrations. Because of this biocidal activity, metals have been widely used as antimicrobial agents in a multitude of applications related with agriculture, healthcare, and the industry in general. Unlike other antimicrobial agents, metals are stable under conditions currently found in the industry al...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in C60 polymers.
Variations in the band structures of C60-polymers are studied, when π-conjugation conditions are changed. We look at band structures in order to discuss a metal-insulator transition, using a semi-empirical model with the Su-SchriefferHeeger type electron-phonon interactions. We find that electronic structures change among direct-gap insulators and the metal, depending on the degree of π-conjuga...
متن کاملRedox-Active Metal-Organic Nanostructure Polymers and Their Remarkable Electrochemical Behavior
A number of redox-active coordination polymers (CPs) or metal- organic frameworks (MOFs) have been successfully synthesized using transition metals and bridging ligands. This article aims to deal with gathering the aforementioned disperse issues regarding the electroactive CPs. It also goes towards illustrating the effects of various factors on the electrochemical behavior of CPs including...
متن کاملAntiviral Activity of Metal-Containing Polymers—Organotin and Cisplatin-Like Polymers
Polymers containing platinum and to a lesser extent tin, have repeatedly demonstrated antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo against a variety of cell and tumor types. The mechanisms responsible for the antitumor activity include inducing a delay in cell proliferation and sister chromatid exchanges blocking tumor growth. As most DNA and some RNA viruses require, and even induce, infected cells...
متن کاملNanostructured metal coatings on polymers increase osteoblast attachment
Bioactive coatings are in high demand to increase the functions of cells for numerous medical devices. The objective of this in vitro study was to characterize osteoblast (bone-forming cell) adhesion on several potential orthopedic polymeric materials (specifically, polyetheretherketone, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene) coated with either titanium or gold u...
