Different clinical- or device-related methods have been attempted to reduce the infection rate. Among these approaches, creating a surface with bactericidal cationic functionality has been proposed. To do so, a sophisticated multi-step chemical procedure would be needed. Instead, a simple immersion approach was utilized in this investigation to render the titanium and polypropylene surface with the quaternary ammonium functionality by using a mussel-inspired novel lab-synthesized biomimetic catechol-terminated polymer, PQA-C8. The chemical oxidants, CuSO4\/H2O2, as well as dopamine, were added into the novel PQA-C8 polymer immersion solution for one-step surface modification. Additionally, a two-step immersion scheme, in which the polypropylene substrate was first immersed in the dopamine solution and then in the PQA-C8 solution, was also attempted. Surface analysis results indicated the surface characteristics of the modified substrates were affected by the immersion solution formulation as well as the procedure utilized. The antibacterial assay has shown the titanium substrates modified by the one-step dopamine + PQA-C8 mixtures with the oxidants added and the polypropylene modified by the two-step scheme exhibited bacterial reduction percentages greater than 90% against both Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli and these antibacterial substrates were non-cytotoxic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16040503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,12]],"date-time":"2024-02-12T08:16:52Z","timestamp":1707725812000},"page":"503","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Facile Surface Modification Scheme for Medical-Grade Titanium and Polypropylene Using a Novel Mussel-Inspired Biomimetic Polymer with Cationic Quaternary Ammonium Functionalities for Antibacterial Application"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0070-0571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chi-Hui","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang-Zhen","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Yuan","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4436-655X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jui-Che","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"},{"name":"Institute of Oral Medicine, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Dentistry, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3819","DOI":"10.1039\/b818698g","article-title":"Antimicrobial surfaces and their potential in reducing the role of the inanimate environment in the incidence of hospital-acquired infections","volume":"19","author":"Page","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
