An antibacterial coating based on a polymer/sol-gel hybrid matrix loaded with silver nanoparticles

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this work a novel antibacterial surface composed of an organic-inorganic hybrid matrix of tetraorthosilicate and a polyelectrolyte is presented. A precursor solution of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and poly(acrylic acid sodium salt) (PAA) was prepared and subseque...
