Antibacterial treatment of LDPE with halogen derivatives via cold plasma
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2015 , Article)
The factor limiting the application of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in healthcare is its high susceptibility to bacterial growth. For this reason, we here investigated antibacterial treatments of LDPE foils using ...
