Abstract : [en] We report on the original synthesis of a poly(methacrylamide) bearing (oxidized) 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine specially designed to (i) insure film growth by covalent coupling, (ii) covalently bind an antibacterial peptide and (iii) contribute to the film cross-linking that is essential for the durability of the properties.
