Abstract

at low loadings, matching or exceeding the performance of reported, protein-stabilized ND-Ag benchmarks. The results support a contact-mediated "Ag-patch" delivery mechanism in which carrier size and Ag distribution - rather than surface charge alone - dominate antibacterial efficacy, and establish a protein-free, autoclave-sterilization-compatible route to durable antibacterial nanodiamond formulations.
