Novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial materials were developed based on the natural polysaccharide chitosan. Firstly, a group of antimicrobial materials were synthesized by quaternization and alkylation of chitosan. An argon plasma-ultraviolet (UV) induced coating method for hydrogel surface immobiliza...
