Synergistic interactions of cadmium-free quantum dots embedded in a photosensitised polymer surface: efficient killing of multidrug-resistant strains at low ambient light levels

Cadmium-free quantum dots (QD) were combined with crystal violet photosensitising dye and incorporated into medical grade polyurethane via a non-covalent dipping process known as ‘swell-encapsulation-shrink’. The antibacterial efficacy of the prepared quantum dot-crystal violet polyurethane substrat...
