“…Alternatively, many natural compounds possess known activity against a range of Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. We have previously shown the use of polymeric derivates from gaiacol (obtained from gaiac) and myrtenol (essential oil) to obtain anti‐adhesive and anti‐biofilm coating on glass slides …”

Thymol, an antibacterial agent was used for the preparation of a methacrylic monomer. The conventional and atom transfer radical (ATRP) polymerizations of this monomer were studied using different conditions. Then, the functionalization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films by “grafting from” ATRP using this monomer was investigated. In this aim, a three steps procedure was developed. The surfaces were first treated by NH3 plasma treatment to incorporate primary amino functions. Then, in a second step, ATRP initiator was grafted by reaction with bromoisobutyryl bromide. Surface initiated ATRP of thymyl methacrylate was performed in solution in the presence of a sacrificial initiator. The efficiency of these reactions was confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Wetting properties and surface energy were found to vary systematically depending to the type of functionalization and grafting. The poly(thymyl methacrylate)‐grafted PET surfaces exhibit resistance to bacterial adhesion toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus strains. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Guaiacol novolak (GCN) and wood-tar creosote novolak (WCN) were synthesized by the reactions of wood-derived guaiacol and creosote with formalin, respectively, and used as hardeners of sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (SPE). Thermal and mechanical properties of the cured resins (SPE-GCN and SPE-WCN) and their biocomposites with wood flour (WF) were compared with those of the materials prepared by using a petroleum-based phenol novolak (PN). Although tan d peak temperatures of SPE-GCN and SPE-WCN were lower than that of SPE-PN, that (58.5-70.8 C) of SPE-GCN/WF(40-50 wt %) was higher than that (56.6-57.0 C) of SPE-PN/WF(40-50 wt %). Tensile moduli of all the biocomposites increased by the addition of WF, while tensile strengths were rather reduced. When the biocomposites with the same WF content were compared, tensile modulus of SPE-GCN/WF was higher than that of SPE-PN/WF. The 5% weight loss temperatures (346-291 C) of SPE-GCN and SPE-GCN/WF were comparable to those (338-284 C) of SPE-PN and SPE-PN/WF.

“…This methodology is promising due to its ability to be extended to a large variety of chemical compounds able to react with functional groups coming from polydopamine coating. For example, we will study the covalent grafting of essential oils and vegetable derivatives due to their antibiofilm properties [35,36]. In addition, this strategy could be easily adapted for other substrates.…”
