A novel approach for immobilization of polyhexamethylene biguanide within silica capsules

Abstract

Silica capsules with PHMB were produced through a water/oil emulsion. Antimicrobial studies against a recombinant luminescent strain of<italic>Escherichia coli</italic>showed inactivation kinetics for PHMB capsules consistent with<italic>in vitro</italic>studies at pH 7.4.
