New Hybrid Copper Nanoparticles/Conjugated Polyelectrolyte Composite with Antibacterial Activity

New Hybrid Copper Nanoparticles/Conjugated Polyelectrolyte Composite with Antibacterial Activity

In the search for new materials to fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a hybrid composite from metallic copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and a novel cationic π-conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) were designed, synthesized, and characterized. The CuNPs were prepared by chemical reduction in the pr...
