Silicone polymers containing the light-activated antimicrobial agent methylene blue with or
without gold nanoparticles were evaluated for their ability to reduce the microbial load on …

Toluidine blue and toluidine blue-nanogold mixtures were incorporated into polyurethane
and silicone polymers by a swell-encapsulation-shrink method using acetone-water …

Methylene blue and 2 nm gold nanoparticles were incorporated into commercial PVC
catheters by use of a simple “swell–encapsulation–shrink” method using acetone–water …

The colonization of catheters by microorganisms is a serious problem that can lead to the
development of resistant biofilm-related infections. Lethal photosensitisation is a possible …

Crystal violet and 2 nm gold nanoparticles were incorporated into medical grade silicone
polymers by use of a novel two-step dipping strategy using water and water–acetone …

We report the preparation, characterisation and antimicrobial functional testing of various
titanium dioxide and gold modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles embedded into a …

There is considerable current interest in photodynamic inactivation (PDI) as potential
antimicrobial therapy. This study reports successful implementation of PDI of …

Silver nanoparticles were covalently coated on a glass surface by overnight exposure of the
glass substrate to nanoparticle solutions, using 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a …
