Antibacterial modification of polymer veneers

Abstract
Antibacterial modification of polymer veneers. The increase of the resistance to infections can be achieved by plastic veneers, e.g. produced from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), surface treatment by substances containing antibacterial groups such as triclosan and chlorhexidine. This research has examined the impact of selected antibacterial substances immobilized on LDPE via poly acrylic acid (PAA) grafted on LDPE by low-temperature barrier discharge plasma. This surface treatment led to inhibition of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus adhesion; the former is causing intestinal disease, peritonitis, pneumonia and septicemia.
