Mixing carbon nanotubes with polymer can boost their bactericidal action in thin films

Carbon nanotubes can kill bacteria and prevent the formation of virulent and corrosive biofilms, probably by puncturing the microbes’ cell walls. As a result, scientists think the nanomaterials could produce antimicrobial coatings for surgical equipment and industrial piping, as per PRW.
