A Graftable Quaternary Ammonium Biocidal Polymer Reduces Biofilm Formation and Ensures Biocompatibility of Medical Devices
Abstract
A quaternized polyvinylpyridine (Q‐PVP) polymer methanolic solution synthesized in a single step is used to covalently graft titanium surfaces. Q‐PVP is quaternized with varying N + /N ratios. 1 cm 2 pure titanium plates are polished and activated. Treated samples are grafted by spin coating or dip‐coating (grafting‐to method). Surfaces are characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, polarization modulation reflection absorption IR...
