Abstract:
Hyperbranched Kaustamin as a commercially available cationic flocculant adsorbs on a glass surface with formation of the polymer film. Kaustamin has antimicrobial effect on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, its film on glass keeps integrity and shape after absorption of water from air, which make the polymer appropriate as an antibacterial cover.
Keywords:hyperbranched Kaustamin, polycation, adsorption, coating, antimicrobial activity, atomic force microscopy.
