Abstract:Infection diseases are a major threat to global public health, with nosocomial infections being of particular concern. In this context, antimicrobial coatings emerge as a promising prophylactic strategy to reduce the transmission of pathogens and control infections. Here, antimicrobial door handle covers to prevent cross‐contamination are prepared by incorporating iodine‐loaded UiO‐66 microparticles into a potentially biodegradable polyurethane polymer (Baycusan® eco E 1000). These covers incorporate MOF parti… Show more
