Biocidal Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Bis-Quaternary Onium Salts of Poly(aspartate-co-succinimide). [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2020
Microbial multidrug resistance presents a real problem to human health. Therefore, water-soluble polymers based on poly(aspartate-co-succinimide) were synthesized via reaction of poly(aspartate-co-succinimide) with bis-quaternary ammonium or quaternary ...

Biocidal Polymers: A Mechanistic Overview [PDF]

Polymer Reviews, 2017
Bacterial fouling on surfaces is considered a major problem in modern society. Conventional methods to prevent biofilm formation often have little effect and may induce further contamination. In response to this challenge, biocidal polymers have been designed and applied as an alternative approach to kill or inhibit bacteria and prevent the formation ...

Evaluation of the release characteristics of covalently attached or electrostatically bound biocidal polymers utilizing SERS and UV-Vis absorption

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2016
In this work, biocidal polymers with antimicrobial quaternized ammonium groups introduced in the polymer biocidal chains either through covalent attachment or electrostatic interaction have been separately incorporated in a poly (methyl methacrylate ...

Infectious Disease: Connecting Innate Immunity to Biocidal Polymers. [PDF]

Materials Science and Engineering: R: Reports, 2007
Infectious disease is a critically important global healthcare issue. In the U.S. alone there are 2 million new cases of hospital-acquired infections annually leading to 90,000 deaths and 5 billion dollars of added healthcare costs. Couple these numbers with the appearance of new antibiotic resistant bacterial strains and the increasing occurrences of ...

Biocidal polymers (I): Preparation and biological activity of some novel biocidal polymers based on uramil and its azo-dyes

Reactive and Functional Polymers, 2008
Novel heterocyclic biocidal polymers (N-halamines and poly Quat's) were prepared for disinfection purposes. They were designed to increase bioactive sites and to stabilize the attached halogen ions to the N-halamine polymers. Two methods were used in their preparation; reacting linear polymers (polyacrylonitrile and polyethylacrylate) with uramil and ...
