POLYURETHANE-BASED POLYMER SURFACE MODIFIERS WITH ALKYL AMMONIUM CO-POLYOXETANE SOFT BLOCKS: REACTION ENGINEERING, SURFACE MORPHOLOGY AND ANTIMICROBIAL BEHAVIOR
Concentrating quaternary (positive) charge at polymer surfaces is important for applications including layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte deposition and antimicrobial coatings. Prior techniques to introduce quaternary charge to the surface involve grafting of quaternary ammonium moieties to a substrate...
