Medicine is facing many challenges today. One of them is that more and more bacterial strains are becoming resistant to antibiotics. In addition, antibiotics and antiseptics are potentially polluting our environment and are, or should be, restricted from common use. We developed a material with bactericidal properties that are activated by light and are confined to the narrow space defined by its surface and shape. This material is nanopolluting and its active substance is non-toxic and biodegradable.

Byly vyrobeny nanotextilie obsahující porfyrin v monomerním stavu. Při jejich ozařování viditelným světlem dochází ke vzniku singletního kyslíku, který ničí bakterie E. Coli.
