LONG-LASTING ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACES BASED ON THE CROSS-LINKING OF NATURAL OILS WITHIN POLYMER NETWORKS

摘要

An antimicrobial composition is provided. The antimicrobial composition includes a polymer matrix, an oil-derived component covalently bonded to the polymer matrix, and an oil-derived antimicrobial component non-covalently associated with at least one of the polymer matrix and the oil-derived component. Methods of making and using the antimicrobial composition are also provided.
