dc.description.abstractTwo new copper complexes of hyperbranched polymers modified with dansyl units were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. It was found that copper ions coordinate predominantly with nitrogen or oxygen atoms of the polymer molecule. The place of the formation of complexes and the number of copper ions involved depend on the chemical structure of the polymer. The antimicrobial activity of the new polymers and their Cu(II) complexes was tested against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial and fungal strains. Copper complexes were found to have activity better than that of the corresponding ligands. The deposition of the modified branched polymers onto cotton fabrics prevents the formation of bacterial biofilms, which indicates that the studied polymers can find application in antibacterial textiles.
