Resumen:
Antimicrobial surfaces are required to obtain more hygienic indoor environments. There are biogenic compounds like terpenoids, from plant essential oils, with potential antimicrobial activity. Besides, modified montmorillonites are promising nanoscale carriers for these compounds. The aim of this research was to prepare antimicrobial coatings with funtionalized montmorillonite hybrid. Three monoterpene compounds from plant essential oils such as citral, citronellol and linalool were assessed to obtain an eco-friendly and cheap antifungal hybrid filler for coatings. A natural surfactant such as soybean lecithin was used as an organic modifier of the clay mineral.
