Enhanced antibacterial activity of ZnO-PMMA nanocomposites by selective plasma etching in atmospheric pressure

We present an alternative route to enhance antibacterial activity of polymer matrix nanocomposites that incorporate biocidal nanomaterials, using open-air atmospheric pressure plasma etching. We applied He/O2 discharges to rapidly remove the upper organic layers of ZnO -PMMA nanocomposite coatings,...
