Light-activated antimicrobial polymers for healthcare applications
This thesis details the development of potent light-activated antimicrobial silicone polymers for use in healthcare environments. Upon illumination, these polymers induce the lethal photosensitisation of bacteria through the generation of a range of reactive oxygen species at the polymer surface, in...
