Antimicrobially-modified substrates, e.g. packaging film or bus seats, obtained by treatment with a copolymer containing quat. ammonium groups and groups which can bond to the substrate, optionally with a coupling agent
Antimicrobially-modified substrates with an antimicrobial (co)polymer (AP) bound to the substrate directly or via a coupling reagent, where the (co)polymer (AP) contains at least one quat. ammonium group and at least one group which undergoes coupling. An Independent claim is also included for a method for the antimicrobial modification of substrates by direct or coupled covalent bonding of (AP) to the substrate by means of coupling groups.
