Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to grow poly(butylmethacrylate)-co-poly(Boc-aminoethyl methacrylate) from the surfaces. Upon Boc-deprotection, these surfaces became highly antimicrobial and killed S. aureus and E. coli 100% in less than 5 min. The molecular weight and grafting density of the polymer were controlled by varying the polymerization time and initiator surface density. Antimicrobial studies showed that the killing efficiency of these surfaces was independent of polymer layer thickness or grafting density within the range of surfaces studied.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19177651?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lienkamp, Karen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Madkour, Ahmad E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Musante, Ashlan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Christopher F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nüsslein, Klaus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tew, Gregory N</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrobial polymers prepared by ROMP with unprecedented selectivity: a molecular construction kit approach.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Am Chem Soc</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

This work presents a molecular construction kit that allows the easy and versatile synthesis of a broad variety of facially amphiphilic oxanorbornene-derived monomers. Their ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and deprotection provide several series of SMAMPs. Using amphiphilicity, monomer feed ratio, and molecular weight as parameters, polymers with 533 times higher selectivitiy (selecitviy = hemolytic concentration/minimum inhibitory concentration) for bacteria over mammalian cells were discovered. Some of these polymers were 50 times more selective for Gram-positive over Gram-negative bacteria while other polymers surprisingly showed the opposite preference. This kind of &quot;double selectivity&quot; (bacteria over mammalian and one bacterial type over another) is unprecedented in other polymer systems and is attributed to the monomer's facial amphiphilicity.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18593128?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
