Just Antimicrobial is not Enough: Toward Bifunctional Polymer Surfaces with Dual Antimicrobial and Protein-Repellent Functionality

Antimicrobial polymer surfaces often fail because debris of killed bacteria accumulates on the coating, which is then covered and deactivated. To overcome this deficiency, two synthetic approaches are developed that combine polycationic antimicrobial polymers with polyzwitterionic protein‐repellent...
