Antibacterial poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based melt-blends

Although poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is widely used in the preparation of biomedical devices, bacterial growth on the polymer surfaces reduces the functionality and lifetime of these devices. To overcome this issue, pyridinium group grafted-PVDF (Pyd-PVDF) was added to PVDF. We prepared antibac...
