Sulfonyldibenzoate coordination polymers as bioactive dopants for polysaccharide films with antibacterial and antibiofilm properties

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Among the metals with antibacterial potential, silver and copper are particularly interesting because of their significant activity and low intrinsic toxicity to human cells. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] In particular, silver ions, nanoparticles, and coordination compounds feature a number of partially implicit types of antimicrobial mechanisms of action. 32,[35][36][37][38] The entry of silver(I) species into intracellular protein moieties, notably sulfur-containing proteins and phosphorus-containing deoxyribonucleic acids, is one example.…”

Reactive silver inks for antiviral, repellent medical textiles with ultrasonic bleach washing durability compared to silver nanoparticles

“…Silver nanoparticles have poor adhesion to the underlying textile fibers due to the small contact area and weak van der Waals forces with the textiles. Significant research has been dedicated to improving the adhesion forces of silver nanoparticles with textile fibers such as the use of polymer coatings [ 26 ], polymer binders [ 27 ], binders [ 12 , 28 ], silanization [ 29 ], in-situ reduction [ 13 ] and nanoparticle/polymer composites [ 30 ]. Nevertheless, nanoparticle-based methods are inherently limited by the non-uniformity of the particle deposition and difficulties in controlling silver release [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…There has been a tremendous amount of research on the use of silver nanoparticles as an antimicrobial agent [5,6] and their incorporation into a range of fabrics or masks [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Silver nanoparticles have been shown to inhibit the growth of yeast, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus [14].…”
