Popis | Atmospheric pressure diffuse barrier discharge in nitrogen was employed to promote the formation sub-micron particles of silver salts of AgNO3, Ag2O, Ag2CO3 and AgCl on polypropylene and polyester warp-knitted surgical meshes. The methods for producing and evaluation of coating are described in detail. All silver salts proved their antimicrobial efficacy against gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli. In general the quantity of immobilized silver found to be sufficient for antibacterial action is in the order of units of mg per gram of polymer mesh. |
