Abstract
In the medical industry, minimizing biofouling is of utmost importance as it helps to reduce bacterial adhesion and prevent cross-infection. In this study, cyclized/knotted polydivinylbenzene (PDVB), a polymer with distinctive structural features, is proposed for the first time to be utilized in the preparation of antibacterial coatings. Firstly, cyclized/knotted polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) is synthesized via deactivation-enhanced atom transfer radical polymerization (DE-ATRP). Subsequently, it is processed into coatings by employing the “grafting to” method. The obtained PDVB coatings display remarkable antibacterial activity on both glass and titanium alloy substrates owing to their unique cyclized/knotted structure, effectively inhibiting the proliferation of common pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, the coatings also exhibit excellent hydrophobicity, strong adhesion, and superior thermal stability. These research findings suggest that cyclized/knotted PDVB coatings possess outstanding physicochemical properties and demonstrate powerful antibacterial performance. It is anticipated to open up new avenues for antibacterial materials.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
