    Author(s): Karthikeyan RKarthikeyan R

    Agents that are capable of killing pathogenic microorganisms are known as Antimicrobial Substances. These are of low molecular weight and used for the sterilization of water, as antimicrobial drugs, as food preservatives, and for soil sterilization. Due to their potential to provide quality and safety benefits to many materials antimicrobials gain interest from both industry and academic research. However, antimicrobial agents with low molecular weight suffer from many disadvantages, such as the antimicrobial ability to short-term and environment toxicity. Antimicrobial functional groups can be introduced into polymer molecules to overcome problems associated with the low molecular weight antimicrobial agents. For enhancing the efficacy of some existing antimicrobial agents, selectivity, increasing their efficiency and prolonging the lifetime of the antimicrobial agen.. View More»
