Cationic Antimicrobial Polymers and Their Assemblies [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Cationic compounds are promising candidates for development of antimicrobial agents. Positive charges attached to surfaces, particles, polymers, peptides or bilayers have been used as antimicrobial agents by themselves or in sophisticated formulations. The main positively charged moieties in these natural or synthetic structures are quaternary ammonium
