Exposure of Smaller and Oxidized Graphene on Polyurethane Surface Improves its Antimicrobial Performance

Catheter-related infections are a common worldwide health problem, highlighting the need for antimicrobial catheters. Here, antibacterial potential of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) incorporated in the commonly used polymer for catheter manufacture—polyurethane (PU)—is investigated. Two strategies are...
