Antimicrobial Polyethylene through Melt Compounding with Quaternary Ammonium Salts

Selected mono- and bicationic quats were compounded with polyethylene. The physicochemical surface properties, leaching behavior, and antibacterial activity of such modified samples were investigated. Contact angle measurements and fluorescein binding assays showed the presence of quaternary ammoniu...
