Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Carvone: A Promising Approach for Antimicrobial Coatings

Medical devices are often vulnerable to colonization by nosocomial pathogens (bacteria), leading infections. Traditional sterilization methods may not always be effective, and as a result, alternative options being explored prevent microbial contamination. Recently, scientists emphasizing using plant-derived essential oils that possess inherent antibacterial properties produce antimicrobial coatings plasma polymerization technology carried out at atmospheric pressure (AP). This approach shows promise compared other coating strategies need several processing steps, including high-vacuum system, laborious, such the immobilization of materials on precoated layers in low-pressure approach. The present study demonstrates potential AP for producing thin films with excellent surface characteristics. resulting stable, smooth, have high wettability, making them ideal repelling bacteria. calculated zeta deposition rate also favorable. These plasma-polymerized created from carvone show reduction more than 90% Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus Our computational docking studies reveal strong binding interactions between original monomer both suggests these plasma-produced great biomedical devices.
