Antifouling efficiency of polymer coatings with SeNPs-loaded SiO2(rh)-PHMG composite as antimicrobial agent
Researchers found that the use of SeNPs-loaded SiO₂(rh)-PHMG composite in polymer coatings can increase resistance to fouling by two to five times. Silica from rice husk [SiO2(rh)] was used as a mineral base for sequential loading of biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) hydrochloride. As result a filler for polymer coatings with a…
