Zusammenfassung:Provided is an antimicrobial substrate comprising a substrate to which is covalently bonded an antimicrobial polymer, in which the antimicrobial polymer comprises an alkylene oxide backbone to which are attached one or more alkyl and/or alkylene oxide primary and/or secondary branches, at least one of the alkyl or alkylene oxide primary and/or secondary branches is functionalized with a quaternary ammonium or a fluorinated group, or at least two of the alkyl and/or alkylene oxide primary and/or secondary branches are functionalized with a quaternary ammonium and a fluorinated group. The antimicrobial substrate can be used, for example, in a method for protecting an object against microbial infection, microbial colonization, or microbial transinfection comprising providing to the object an antimicrobial substrate.
