Polyelectrolyte multilayers with intrinsic antimicrobial functionality : the importance of mobile polycations

Cationic contact-killing is an important strategy for creating antimicrobial surfaces that prevent viable bacteria attachment. Recent studies have shown that highly swollen, compliant surfaces resist bacterial attachment and a sufficient density of mobile cationic charge can effectively disrupt bact...
