We aimed to assemble research papers on the preparation of new materials, antimicrobial testing using different pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and the relationship between the coating nanostructure and its reactivity towards the studied pathogen(s). We believe that a good antimicrobial coating should by characterized by (i) a fast activity towards the pathogen, (ii) sustainable activity based on the stability of the coating, and (iii) the lowest possible toxicity for humans and reduced risks for the environment. Striking a compromise between these different challenges is difficult and requires more research.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc3D printingacrylic acidactive packagingAmphibalanus amphitriteantibacterialantifouling efficacyantimicrobialantimicrobial actionantimicrobial activityantimicrobial agentsbioassaybiofouling of ships' hullblack anther diseasebrilliant greencatheterschitosancitric acidcoatingcoatingscold plasmacoppercross-linkedcrosslinking reactioncrystal violetcuprous oxidedemethylationdialysisdrug releasedynamic agingE. coli inactivationedible coatingsedible filmsextrusionflow-throughfresh fishglycidyl methacrylatehernia meshesinfectioninfectionsligninmagnetron sputteringmanufacturingmethylcellulosen/ananomaterialsnatamycinorchid cut flowerplasma depositionpolydopaminepolypropylenepolyurethane coatingsquaternary ammonium groupsraft experimentrepellant activityshelf-lifesilversilver nanoparticlesspoilagesuper-elastic coatingstitanium-based thin filmstriangular boxtriphenylmethane dyesResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesRtimi Samiedt1324197Rtimi SamiothBOOK9910557408603321Advances in Antimicrobial Coatings3036026UNINA
