New In Situ-Generated Polymer-Iodine Complexes with Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity

ABSTRACT Iodine-containing systems show broad antiseptic properties that can be an invaluable tool in controlling infections in humans and animals. Here, we describe the first proof-of-concept studies on biocidal active polyamide- and polyurethane-iodine complexes that are produced in situ directly...
