Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of cotton fabric coated with conducting polymers, polyaniline or polypyrrole, and with deposited silver nanoparticles
Cotton fabrics were coated in situ with conducting polymers, polyaniline or polypyrrole. Silver nanoparticles were deposited on the surface. Polypyrrole-coated cotton displayed antibacterial effect even without silver nanoparticles. Cytotoxicity of cotton modified with polypyrrole was low.
