New Smart Polymeric Materials with Optical Sensing Properties: Determination of Antimicrobial Properties Using Photodynamic Therapy
Antimicrobial resistance has intensified the search for non-antibiotic strategies activated by external stimuli, including antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. In this work, a hybrid system based on spiropyran-functionalized poly(maleic anhydride-alt-acrylic acid), P(MAn-alt-AA)-SP, and CdTe@ZnS quantum dots incorporate...
