Optimizing CNT Loading in Antimicrobial Composites for Urinary Tract Application

Optimizing CNT Loading in Antimicrobial Composites for Urinary Tract Application

Several methodologies have been implemented with the intent of preventing or reducing the formation of biofilms on indwelling urinary devices. The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the biomedical field has been increasing, particularly in the production of antimicrobial and antifouling coatings. Des...
