| Abstract: | Covalently attached, non-leaching biocidal-moieties are being explored as an environmentally friendly option for replacing antimicrobial coatings that release biocides. This review highlights studies on antimicrobial surface treatments and coatings in which the antimicrobial agent is covalently bound (i.e. tethered) to the surface or coating matrix. In addition, test methods for measuring antimicrobial surface activity are reviewed, and a discussion of advantages and disadvantages of the various methods is provided. |
