Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Feb 14;55(15):2206-2209. doi: 10.1039/c8cc09000a.

Abstract

Here, we report the first example of a hydrogel directly assembled from a copper MOP by a facile ultrasonic procedure, and it exhibited excellent antibacterial activity towards Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
