Detection of bacteria using antimicrobial polymer derived via ring-opening metathesis (romp) pathway
Detection of bacteria using antimicrobial polymer derived via ring-opening metathesis (romp) pathway
There is growing interest in the detection of bacteria in consumables, for example, in the food and water sectors. In this study, the aim was to produce a polymer-based bacteria biosensor via ROMP (ring opening metathesis polymerization). In the first part of the study, block and random copolymers were synthesized, and their biocidal activities were tested on the glass surface. Interdigitated electrode arrays coated with the polymers possessing the highest activity were used to screen the affini
