Degradable copper(ii)-doped starch-based biopolymeric films with antibacterial ...
Trusau, K. I.; Jorge, Paula; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Fernandes, Tiago A.; André, Vânia; Kirillova, M. V.; Usevich, A. I.; Cerca, Nuno; Kirillov, A. M.The search for new bioactive molecules and sustainable materials to address antimicrobial resistance continues to be of significant attention in many research areas. In this work, new copper(II) coordination polymers and complexes containing ammonia and aromatic carboxylate ligands were self-assembled, characterized, and applied as bioactive dopants to produce starch-based biopolymeric films. The structures of ...
Biopolymer films doped with silver(I) coordination polymers against bacterial b...
Fernandes, T. A.; Costa, I. F. M.; Jorge, Paula Alexandra Silva; Sousa, A. C.; André, V.; Cerca, Nuno; Kirillov, A. M.This report describes a template-mediated self-assembly synthesis, full characterization, and structural features of two new silver-based bioactive coordination polymers (CPs) as well their immobilization into acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (ESOA) biopolymer films for antimicrobial applications. The 3D silver(I) CPs [Ag4(8-H2pma)2]n·4nH2O (1) and [Ag5(6-H0.5tma)2(H2O)4]n·2nH2O (2) were generated from AgNO3 an...
