“The functionalization of polymeric materials by using patented antimicrobial peptides will reduce the microbial count of water in reusable bottles, making them safer even after several hours. Similarly, the proposed technology can have applications in the biomedical field. Medical devices (i.e., tubular duts), acting as a link between the inside and the outside of the human body, could be made less susceptible to pathogenic attack, avoiding the development of harmful bacteria”
