In situ copper-ion catalyzed synthesis of copper containing poly(isocyanurate-urea) xerogels with antibacterial activity and biocompatibility for biomedical applications

Abstract

In this study, we report the synthesis of copper ion containing polyisocyanurate-urea Xerogels (Cu-PIU) by reaction of organic monomers containing isocyanate functional group catalyzed by copper chloride. The wet gels...
