Summary: Anionically polymerised (poly)isoprene was functionalized with cysteamine applying thiol‐ene click chemistry. Subsequent quaternisation of the primary amino groups gave polymers with antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes , Eschericchia coli , Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus aureus as revealed from tests performed according to the Japanese Industrial Standard Z2801:2000. The novel polymers feature sufficient thermal stability for the compounding with commodity polymers such as poly(propylene) and might be used as a non leaching additive to finish commodity polymers with antimicrobial acitivity.
