Estimating the term…
The use of at least one modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or a mixture thereof substituted with one or more amine and/or ammonium groups, as an antimicrobial agent, is provided by the present invention, as well as compositions comprising a polymer material blended with the modified polysaccharide. Also provided by the present invention are antimicrobial articles produced from the compositions of the invention and antimicrobial surface, fabric, foam or sponge produced by coating, soaking or dipping in a solution comprising modified polysaccharides. The present invention further provides non-therapeutic methods for killing microorganisms, inhibiting their growth, and/or preventing formation of a biofilm, and for producing an antimicrobial surface, article, fabric, foam or sponge from modified polysaccharides.
Use of at least one modified polysaccharide in a non-therapeutic method for killing microorganisms, inhibiting their growth, and/or preventing formation of a biofilm, wherein said at least one modified polysaccharide is selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or a mixture thereof substituted with one or more amine and/or ammonium groups.
Use of at least one modified polysaccharide for producing an anti-microbial surface, fabric, foam, sponge or article, wherein said at least one modified polysaccharide is selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or a mixture thereof substituted with one or more amine and/or ammonium groups.
A composition comprising a polymer material blended with at least one antimicrobial modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin substituted with one or more amine and/or ammonium groups.
A method for killing microorganisms, inhibiting their growth, and/or preventing formation of a biofilm, comprising coating a surface with, or embedding in a fabric, foam or sponge, an antimicrobial composition comprising at least one modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or combinations thereof substituted with amine and/or ammonium groups, optionally mixed with glue or solvent.
A method of producing an anti-microbial surface, fabric, foam or sponge, comprising coating a surface with, or embedding in a fabric, foam or sponge, an antimicrobial composition comprising at least one modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or combinations thereof substituted with amine and/or ammonium groups, optionally mixed with glue or solvent.
A method for killing microorganisms, inhibiting their growth, and/or preventing formation of a biofilm, comprising preparing an antimicrobial composition comprising a polymer material and at least one modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or combinations thereof substituted with amine and/or ammonium groups, and producing an article from said antimicrobial composition.
A method for manufacturing an anti-microbial article, comprising preparing an antimicrobial composition comprising a polymer material and at least one modified polysaccharide selected from starch, amylose, amylopectin and dextrin or combinations thereof substituted with amine and/or ammonium groups, and producing an article from said antimicrobial composition.
