Application of targeted molecular and material property optimization to bacterial attachment-resistant (meth)acrylate polymers

Developing medical devices that resist bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation is highly desirable. In this paper, we report the optimization of the molecular structure and thus material properties of a range of (meth)acrylate copolymers which contain monomers reported to deliver bacte...
