Silver Nanocoatings for Reducing the Exogenous Microbial Colonization of Wound Dressings

Silver Nanocoatings for Reducing the Exogenous Microbial Colonization of Wound Dressings

The aim of this work was to obtain an antimicrobial coating (NanoAg) for polyester-nylon wound dressings (WDs) for reducing the risk of exogenous wound related infections. The as-prepared NanoAg-WDs were characterized by XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), TEM (Transmission...
