Abstract

This works describes the antimicrobial (antibacterial and antiviral) performance of a multicomponent fabric for wound dressing. The fabric comprises a scaffold of plasma activated polyester (PES), enveloped in a matrix of chitosan (CH) containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the zeolite mordenite (MOR). The antimicrobial efficacy of the cumulative addition of each of these components was evaluated.The authors would like to acknowledge the project PLASMAMED - PTDC/CTM-TEX/28295/2017 financed by FCT, FEDER and POCI in the frame of the Portugal 2020 program, the project UID/CTM/00264/2019 of 2C2T under the COMPETE and FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC) co-fnanced by FEDER through the PT2020 program
