“…To further improve mechanical properties, nontoxicity, noncarcinogenic effect, and bioadhesive properties, polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be used to blend with PVA, which forms strong interactions due to hydrogen bond formation [36][37][38]. Hence, many researchers combined at least two of these mentioned polymers-PVA, PVP, PEG, and CS-to create new antimicrobial agents with various applications [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. Additionally, these polymers are capable of degrading naturally, compatible with biological systems, have the ability to form films, and have been previously documented for their use in topical applications [9,50,51].…”

The findings from Pareto charts, main effect plots, and interaction plots demonstrate the importance of polymer concentration. Increasing concentration improves the inhibition percentage and decreases the MIC50. However, the primary factor that influences these changes is chitosan (CS). Additionally, the interaction between CS and PVP, along with other polymers, plays a crucial role in achieving better antimicrobial effects. These results enhance our understanding of the antimicrobial properties of the studied polymers and offer valuable insights for developing effective antimicrobial formulations. The MIC50 value of M1–M16 was at a polymer percentage of 12.5%. At 12.5% polymer percentage, with the limits of [PVA], [PEG], and [PVP] being 0.002–0.004 g/mL and [CS] being 0.001–0.002 g/mL, using the 2-level full factorial method, the inhibition percentage is equal to 174.1 − 27,812 PVA − 18,561 PVP − 25,960 PEG − 38,752 CS + 9,263,047 PVA*PVP + 10,430,763 PVA*PEG + 15,397,157 PVA*CS + 7,088,313 PVP*PEG + 7,841,221 PVP*CS + 14,228,046 PEG*CS − 3,367,292,860 PVA*PVP*PEG − 5,671,998,721 PVA*PVP*CS − 6,619,041,275 PVA*PEG*CS − 3,917,095,529 PVP*PEG*CS + 2,273,661,969,470 PVA*PVP*PEG*CS. Theoretically, the most economical concentrations of PVA, PVP, PEG, and CS are 0.002, 0.002, 0.002, and 0.001 mg/mL at a concentration of 12.5% to reach an inhibition percentage of 99.162%, which coincides with the MBC value.
