Nitric Oxide Releasing Polymeric Coatings for the Prevention of Biofilm Formation

Nitric Oxide Releasing Polymeric Coatings for the Prevention of Biofilm Formation

The ability of nitric oxide (NO)-releasing polymer coatings to prevent biofilm formation is described. NO-releasing coatings on (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and silicone elastomer (SE)) were fabricated using aminosilane precursors. Pristine PET and SE were oxygen plasma treated, followed by i...
