Title: Design, preparation and antibacterial activity of light-activated polymer coatings
Keywords: light-activated coatings; photosensitizers; antibacterial ac

Abstract: Here, we report on the preparation of light-activated polymer coatings obtained via a simple dip-coating procedure on a stainless steel (SS) substrate by using the following components: 1) P(mDOPA)-co-P(DMAEMA) polycationic copolymer; 2) Pox(mDOPA)/PAH) nanogel which possesses quinone groups and 3) a photosensitizing agent on the base of porphyrin IX (PPIX - ED). Energy dispersive X-ray analysis with SEM (EDX-SEM) was used to analyse the chemical composition and distribution of elements of the coatings. The antibacterial activity against G. negative E. coli and G. positive B. subtilis was established by a modified disc diffusion method.
