Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2018 AbstractSynthetic polymers have shown promise in combating multidrug‐resistant bacteria. However, the biological effects of sequence control in synthetic antimicrobial polymers are currently not well understood. As such, we investigate the antimicrobial effects of monomer distribution within linear high‐order quasi‐block copolymers consisting of ...

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1975
AbstractA number of carboxyl‐containing ethylene copolymers have been prepared which exhibit long term antibacterial and antifungal properties. These materials, containing antimicrobial agents bound to the copolymer backbone as carboxylate salts, have been tested for their applicability to hospital products as a means of providing “self‐sanitizing ...

Integrated Antimicrobial and Nonfouling Zwitterionic Polymers
Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2014AbstractZwitterionic polymers are generally viewed as a new class of nonfouling materials. Unlike their poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) counterparts, zwitterionic polymers have a broader chemical diversity and greater freedom for molecular design. In this Minireview, we highlight recent microbiological applications of zwitterionic polymers and their ...

Antimicrobial polymers are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative approach and solution to traditional antibiotics in the fight against pathogens. Polymers can be designed to target a wide range of pathogens, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Cationic polymers, in particular, have shown huge potential

Developments in antimicrobial polymers
Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 2016ABSTRACTEffective antimicrobial polymers have been attracting more interests because of the low propensity to cause drug‐resistant microorganisms. The recent progresses in antimicrobial polymers are updated according to the action approaches, that is, antimicrobial polymers with free mobility or fixed on surfaces, respectively.

Chemical Innovations of Antimicrobial Polymers for Combating Antimicrobial Resistance
ACS Biomaterials Science & EngineeringThe global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has rendered many traditional antibiotics ineffective, leading to an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Antimicrobial polymers, with their ability to rapidly kill bacteria by disrupting or crossing membranes and/or targeting multiple microbial functions without inducing resistance ...

Polythiosemicarbazides as Antimicrobial Polymers
1981Over a number of years, the antiparasitic and antibacterial properties of a large number of synthetic polymers have been examined by our research group. Among the materials examined were: sulfonamide-formaldehyde copolymers (1,2), sulfonamide-dimethylolurea copolymers (1,2), tropolone-formaldehyde copolymers (1,2), N-methacrylyl-l-aminoadamantane ...
