A method of preparing a polymer nanocomposite having antimicrobial properties, comprises (i) contacting a polymeric antimicrobial agent with a clay to form an organoclay; and (ii) subsequently dispersing the organoclay in a polymeric matrix. Polymer nanocomposites prepared by the method of the invention are not prone to leaching of the polymeric antimicrobial agent from the composite, and have many applications. |
