Microwave synthesis of novel methacrylate monomers designed to reduce biofilm formation to surfaces

Rational design of biomaterials is hindered by the lack of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Here we report the use of a QSAR to guide experimentation into a new chemical space; we predict and synthesize molecular structures for novel monomers that will reduce biofilm formation,...
