Abstract
Cationic ROMP-polymers bearing ammonium or phosphonium groups were photo-grafted onto a PDMS surface via the thiol-ene click reaction, in the presence of benzophenone. The PDMS surface was first thiolated using pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptopropionate) (PTTMP) under UV, in the presence of benzophenone. The obtained cationic surfaces exhibited charge densities above 1014 charge/cm2 and a higher degree of hydrophilicity compared to non-grafted surfaces. The live and dead tests performed by fluorescence microscopy revealed an effective contact bactericidal effect of these surfaces against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
