Conclusions
CONCLUSIONS
Good antibacterial activity has been observed on cotton
fabrics coated with plasma polymerized poly-pyrrole.
Iodine-doping is necessary to induce the antibacterial behaviour of
poly-pyrrole deposited by plasma polymerization. Doping during
polymerization has been shown a much more effective method to induce
oxidation of poly-pyrrole.
