| abstract |
The present application relates to polymers of Formula (I), (II) and (III) which, when combined with a silicone elastomer or a silicone pre-elastomer, modifies the properties of the elastomer, for example, by delivering to the elastomer surface enhanced hydrophilic (wettable) and/or antimicrobial properties. The present application also relates to polymers of Formula (I), (II) and/or (III), which have antimicrobial activities. Methods of using the polymers and silicone elastomers coated with the polymers are also included in the application. |
