✦ Synopsis

From the clinical editor:

Emulsions of polyacrylate nanoparticles, antibiotics and surfactants were studied using surfactant monomers as controls. nonionic surfactants resulted in the most optimal properties. incorporation of a beta-lactam antibacterial agent onto the nanoparticle matrix endowed the emulsion with antibiotic properties against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa), a leading cause of hospital acquired, treatment-resistant infections including sepsis.

Several polymerizable surfactants (surfmers) have been used in the semicontinuous emulsion copolymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. Three of the (anionic) surfmers (sodium 11-crotonoyl undecan-1-yl sulfate, sodium 11-methacryloyl undecan-1-sulfate, and sodium sulfopropyl tetrad
