Abstract
The present invention relates to a polymer matrix, characterized in that it comprises a) an electron donating constituent and b) metal particles comprising at least one metal chosen from palladium, gold, ruthenium, rhodium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. The polymer matrix makes it possible to improve the biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties of substrates coated with said polymer matrix.
