Abstract: The poor mechanical strength of the poly(N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide) (PDMAPMAAm) hydrogel limits its application as a drug delivery system and antimicrobial agent. In this study, both its morphology and antibacterial effectiveness were controlled through free radical… read more here.
