Abstract
The present disclosure provides amine-modified polymer foams, which may be used for wound dressing materials. For example, the modified materials can include a covalently attached molecule comprising free amine groups. Such amine groups can be used, for instance, to conjugate biologically active polypeptides and/or linkers. Methods for using modified polymers are also provided.
Claims20
A functionalized material comprising an amine-functionalized polyurethane material attached to a biologically active agent, wherein the amine-functionalized polyurethane material comprises a polyurethane polymer copolymerized with one or more aminoglycosides, and wherein the biologically active agent is attached to a free amino group on the functionalized material.
