Bio-based hierarchical coatings with synergistic dual-mode antibacterial activity via Cu-MOF-loaded waterborne polyurethane and isobornyl acrylate-eugenol copolymer
Copper-based metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) have emerged as promising antibacterial materials by virtue of their porous architectures and tunable metal ion release profiles. Nevertheless, conventional Cu-MOF coatings that rely on a single Cu2+ release-mediated bactericidal mechanism suffer from initial burst releas...
