BIOCIDES FOR POLYMERS

Biocidal polymers have the ability to kill microorganisms, by acting as a source of sterilizing ions or molecules. Antimicrobial polymers, also known as polymeric biocides, is a class of polymers with antimicrobial activity, or the ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoans. These polymers have been engineered to mimic antimicrobial peptides, which are used by the immune systems of living organisms to kill bacteria.
