Abstract

The invention relates to antimicrobial polymers which can be obtained by copolymerizing vinyl ethers of general formula (I), especially 3-aminopropyl vinyl ethers, with additional aliphatically unsaturated monomers, and to a method for the production thereof. The polymers can also be produced by graft copolymerizing a substrate, whereby a covalently bound coating is obtained on the surface of the substrate. The antimicrobial polymers can be used as a microbicide coating, among other things, on hygiene articles or in the field of medicine, as well as in paints or protective paint coatings.

2. An antimicrobial polymer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vinyl ether used comprises 3-aminopropyl vinyl ether.
3. An antimicrobial polymer as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the aliphatically unsaturated monomers are methacrylic acid compounds.
4. An antimicrobial polymer as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the aliphatically unsaturated monomers are acrylic acid compounds.
5. An antimicrobial polymer as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the aliphatically unsaturated monomers used are methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methylacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, tert-butyaminoethyl esters, 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-diethyl-aminoethyl vinyl ether, N-3-dimethylamino propylmethacrylamide, 3-metacryloylaminopropyl-trimethylammonium chloride, 2-methacryloyoxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride or 2-methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium methosulfate.
6. An antimicrobial polymer as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the copolymerization is carried out on a substrate.
7.

15. The process as claimed in any one of claims 10 to 14, wherein the copolymerization is carried out on a substrate.
16. A process for preparing an antimicrobial coating of a substrate, which comprises copolymerizing vinyl ethers of the general formula where ~R1 is a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 are II or a branches or unbranched hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, where R2 and R3 may be identical or different, in graft polymerization of a substrate.
7. The process as claimed in claim 16, wherein the substrate is activated prior to the graft polymerization by UV radiation, plasma treatment, corona treatment, flame treatment, ozonization, electrical discharge or .gamma.-radiation.
18. The process as claimed in claim 16, wherein the substrate is activated prior to the graft polymerization by UV radiation with a photoinitiator.
19. The use of the antimicrobial polymers as claimed in any of claims 1 to 9 for producing products with an antimicrobial coating of the polymer.
