Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of copper/polydopamine nanocomposites

Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of copper/polydopamine nanocomposites

This work showcases the fabrication, characterization, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity of copper/polydopamine (Cu/PDA) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were prepared by either embedding copper nanoparticles within the matrix (Cu-PDA) or incorporating them on the surface (Cu@PDA) of PDA. I...
