New Hydrogels Nanocomposites Based on Chitosan, 2-Formylphenylboronic Acid, and ZnO Nanoparticles as Promising Disinfectants for Duodenoscopes Reprocessing
New hydrogels nanocomposites, based on iminoboronate hydrogels and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO–NPs), were obtained and characterised in order to develop a new class of disinfectants able to fight the nosocomial infections produced by duodenoscopes investigation procedures. The formation of the imine link...
