CuO/Ag hybrid nanomaterial coated hydrophilic natural rubber film with minimal bacterial adhesion and contact killing efficiency

The formation of biofilms and bacterial infections associated with biomedical equipment continues to be a severe clinical problem. To provide a high-efficiency bactericidal coating, CuO/Ag hybrid nanomaterial was introduced onto the surface of natural rubber polymer by a simple immersion strategy. T...
