Because of this biocidal activity, metals have been widely used as antimicrobial agents in a multitude of applications related with agriculture, healthcare, and the industry in general. Unlike other antimicrobial agents, metals are stable under conditions currently found in the industry allowing their use as additives. Today these metal based additives are found as: particles, ions absorbed\/exchanged in different carriers, salts, hybrid structures, etc. One recent route to further extend the antimicrobial applications of these metals is by their incorporation as nanoparticles into polymer matrices. These polymer\/metal nanocomposites can be prepared by several routes such as in situ synthesis of the nanoparticle within a hydrogel or direct addition of the metal nanofiller into a thermoplastic matrix. The objective of the present review is to show examples of polymer\/metal composites designed to have antimicrobial activities, with a special focus on copper and silver metal nanoparticles and their mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms16012099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,19]],"date-time":"2015-01-19T10:53:54Z","timestamp":1421664834000},"page":"2099-2116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":649,"title":["Antimicrobial Polymers with Metal Nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Humberto","family":"Palza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Biotecnolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias F\u00edsicas y Matem\u00e1ticas, Universidad de Chile, Beauchef 850, Santiago 8320000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1038\/nrmicro3028","article-title":"Antimicrobial activity of metals: Mechanisms, molecular targets and applications","volume":"11","author":"Lemire","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
