Weak adhesion between the metal-based antibacterial coatings and polymer substrates limits their clinical applications; surface modification is an effective way to solve this intrinsic problem. In this study, UV irradiation was employed to activate the inert silicon rubber substrates, and the grafting of coupling agent (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxy silane into the UV-irradiated substrates generated...
Coupling agent 3-amino propyl triethoxy silane (γ-APTS) was facilely grafted onto silicon rubber through UV irradiation to form the self-assembly monolayer (SAM). N atoms with lone pairs of electrons in the coupling agent then anchored the silver atoms during electroless plating and produced antibacterial coatings with remarkably improved adhesion to substrates. The grafting of coupling agent was...
