A new biocompatible silver/polypyrrole composite with in vitro antitumor activity

Cold atmospheric plasma deposition of antibacterial polypyrrole–silver nanocomposites on wearable electronics for prolonged performance

“…2 To identify the optimal proportion of Ag filler into the PPy structures that offers both high electrical conductivity and low biofouling while ensuring minimal toxicity toward skin tissue, a systematic study was conducted by varying the monomer composition. 27 The structural, morphological, functional, elemental, and electrical properties of the deposited PPy-Ag nanocomposites were characterized using diverse characterization techniques. Antibacterial and antifouling performance of the developed PPy-Ag nanocomposite surfaces were performed using two common Gram-positive and Gram-negative skin surface flora such as Staphylococcus epidermitis 28 and Escherichia coli, 29 along with an assessment of biocompatibility with HCT-8 epithelial cells (Fig.…”
