Auto-Disinfectant Acrylic Paints Functionalised with Triclosan and Isoborneol-A...
Machado Querido, M; Paulo, I; Hariharakrishnan, S; Rocha, D; Pereira, CC; Barbosa, N; Bordado, JM; Teixeira, JP; Galhano dos Santos, REnvironmental surface contamination with microorganisms is a serious concern worldwide. Triclosan and isoborneol present good antimicrobial activity. Their immobilisation to paint substrates allows for development of a material that stays effective over a longer time. In this work, we disclosed the preliminary studies to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the active molecule after being functionalised with ...
Self-Disinfecting Paints with the Natural Antimicrobial Substances: Colophony a...
Querido, MM; Paulo, I; Hariharakrishnan, S; Rocha, D; Barbosa, N; Galhano dos Santos, R; Bordado, JM; Teixeira, JP; Pereira, CCThe risk of infection arising from indirect sources—namely, contaminated surfaces—has been proved, particularly in healthcare facilities. In the attempt to minimize this problem, innumerable research projects involving the development of surfaces with self-disinfecting properties are being conducted. In this work, wall-paints with self-disinfecting properties were developed with the scope of being applied in en...
