| Sumario: | Antimicrobial materials have become an essential part of various fields. In the past decades, various types of antimicrobial materials were developed and practically used. Based on the feedback from the clinical usage and market, the biocompatible materials have been very welcomed due to less side effects. This chapter provides a small and general review of biocompatible polymer materials and their applications in antimicrobial fields. This chapter could be divided into several parts: starting from the background introduction of microbial threats, the first section discusses the demands of biocompatible polymers for antimicrobial applications, then, the following sections would describe the basic knowledge of biocompatible polymers, including the definition, advantages, and typical examples, the next section reviewed and discussed some approaches to apply biocompatible polymers into antimicrobial applications. |
