Apart from protecting the surface upon which they are applied, antimicrobial coatings have applications across numerous segments such as medical and healthcare, construction, textiles, indoor air quality, food, etc. The coatings are also used to eliminate microbial growth, an aspect that has contributed to the growing demand for antimicrobial coatings in medical applications such as catheters.
