Project Description Antibacterial coatings based on sonochemically designed surface metal nanofoams, 2011, CLG 984267 General overview: Advances for a new generation of active metal surfaces with feedback properties. Objectives: Technologies for fabrication of surface metal nanofoams for active chemicals storage by green ultrasound irradiation with combination with selfassembly complexation between biocide and polyelectrolyte in open/close states and formation of surface nanoreservoirs capable of long-term storage and controllable release of the entrapped antimicrobial agents which provide a basis for novel CNBR decontamination coatings. Expected outcomes comprehensible to the non-expert: fabrication of surface encapsulation systems capable of long-term storage and controllable release of the entrapped antimicrobial agents which provide a basis for novel CNBR decontamination coatings. 2
