Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Excellent antibacterial performance of polyaniline (PAni) against escherichia coli and gram-positive staphylococcus aureus microorganisms has been demonstrated under both dark and visible light conditions. The electrostatic adherence between the PAni molecules and the bacteria may play a very important role for the antibacterial reaction of the PAni. As a result of our investigation, conducting PAni and its composites/blends are believed to be useful as a new type of antibacterial agent, self-clean as well as multifunctional material for improving human health and living environment.
