Antimicrobial Materials and Interfaces: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications

A review of novel antimicrobial materials remedies for eradication of common and multidrug-resistant bacteria

Antimicrobial Materials and Interfaces covers a wide range of antimicrobial materials with a review of the synthesis, characterization, and applications of each material.

Contributed to by leading experts in the field, Antimicrobial Materials and Interfaces includes information on:

• Cationic and zwitterionic polymers-based antimicrobial materials, zwitterionic polymers as antifouling materials, and superhydrophobic antifouling and antimicrobial materials
• Antimicrobial peptides, protease antibacterial materials, antimicrobial nanometallics, and antimicrobial metal and covalent organic frameworks
• One- and two-dimensional, photothermal, photodynamic, stimuli-responsive, and intelligent antimicrobial materials
• Nitric oxide delivery materials, sonodynamic sterilization materials, and polymer-based antibacterial ureteral stents
• Piezoelectric and photocatalytic materials for antibacterial therapy and microneedle technology for the management of bacterial skin infections

Antimicrobial Materials and Interfaces is an essential reference on promising novel materials for materials scientists and inorganic, bioinorganic, medicinal, polymer, and protein chemists.
