Antimicrobial adhesive films by plasma-enabled polymerisation of m-cresol

Abstract This work reveals a versatile new method to produce films with antimicrobial properties that can also bond materials together with robust tensile adhesive strength. Specifically, we demonstrate the formation of coatings by using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to convert a liqui...
