Antibacterial coordination polymer hydrogels composed of silver(<scp>i</scp>)-PEGylated bisimidazolylbenzyl alcohol

Abstract

over that of silver nitrate. With improved antibacterial performance, easy preparation method, improved stability, sustained releasability, outstanding ductility and low cytotoxicity, the as-prepared coordination polymer hydrogels should find various potential applications such as in clinical burn and wound dressings, biofilms, bioadhesives, and coatings of biomedical materials.
