State-of-the-Art, and Perspectives of, Silver/Plasma Polymer Antibacterial Nanocomposites

Abstract: Urgent need for innovative and effective antibacterial coatings in different fields seems to have triggered the development of numerous strategies for the production of such materials. As shown in this short overview, plasma based techniques arouse considerable attention that is connected with the possibility to use these techniques for the production of advanced antibacterial Ag/plasma polymer coatings with tailor-made functional properties. In addition, the plasma-based deposition is believed to be well-suit… Show more

“…4 Different approaches for the production of Ag/plasma polymer nanocomposites: a simultaneous sputtering and plasma polymerization, b deposition from two independent magnetrons and c a combination of a gas aggregation source and plasma polymerization. Reproduced from [88], open source MDPI Publishing the possibility to adjust the experimental conditions/characteristics both of the NPs and the matrix) and in Fig. 4c a combination of a gas aggregation source and plasma polymerization.…”

“…Once the PNCs has been manufactured, in various applications are sought to have certain specific surface properties to improve its performance. For example, cleaning and conditioning the surface of the PNCs, enhancing the adhesion of coatings [124], generating antimicrobial properties [120,124,125], chemical resistance [122], catalytic activity [126], among others. In other cases, the objective is to expose NPs that became embedded in the polymer matrix during the manufacturing process by molecular fragmentation (impact ion process) on the PNCs [127].…”

“…The representative example of this is the fabrication of antibacterial coatings based on Ag or Cu NPs. In this case, the fixation layer acts also as a barrier that controls the release of bactericidal ions from the coatings into the liquid environment and with it connected antibacterial efficiency of such nanomaterials [262][263][264][265].…”
