The present invention relates to substrates comprising covalently attached antimicrobial polymers, which act as synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) and are preferably obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The inventive antimicrobial polymers exhibit a molecular weight of more than 100,000 g mol
−1
and are preferably covalently attached to the surface of a substrate, e.g. an implant, a medical device, medical equipment or a (tissue-supporting) biomaterial, etc. Covalent bonding may be carried out using a photoreactive crosslinker but also by “grafting onto” or “grafting from”. The present invention is also directed to uses of the inventive antimicrobial polymers as defined herein, e.g. for antimicrobially coating a surface of such a substrate with a layer of the inventive antimicrobial polymer.
本发明涉及包含共价连接的抗菌聚合物的基板,这些聚合物作为抗菌肽(SMAMPs)的合成模拟体,并且最好是通过环烯烃开环甲基交换聚合(ROMP)获得的。这种创新的抗菌聚合物的分子量超过100,000克/摩尔,并且最好是共价连接到基板表面上,例如植入物、医疗器械、医疗设备或(支持组织的)生物材料等。共价键合可以使用光反应性交联剂进行,也可以通过“接枝到”或“接枝自”来进行。本发明还涉及如上所定义的创新抗菌聚合物的用途,例如,用创新抗菌聚合物的层对这种基板的表面进行抗菌涂层。
