Biocidal Polymers: A Mechanistic Overview [PDF]

open access: yesPolymer Reviews, 2016
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 ...

Exploring the Co-Crystallization of Kojic Acid with Silver(I), Copper(II), Zinc(II), and Gallium(III) for Potential Antibacterial Applications

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Co-crystallization of kojic acid (HKA) with silver(I), copper(II), zinc(II), or gallium(III) salts yielded three 1D coordination polymers and one 0D complex in which kojic acid was present as a neutral or anionic terminal or bridging ligand.

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

open access: yeseXPRESS 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 ...

Cationic Polymer-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles with Antibacterial Properties: Synthesis and In Vitro Characterization

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Uniformly sized magnetite nanoparticles (Dn = 16 nm) were prepared by a thermal decomposition of Fe(III) oleate in octadec-1-ene and stabilized by oleic acid. The particles were coated with Sipomer PAM-200 containing both phosphate and methacrylic groups

Graphene-based dental adhesive with anti-biofilm activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Secondary caries are considered the main cause of dental restoration failure. In this context, anti-biofilm and bactericidal properties are desired in dental materials against pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans.

Preparação de copolímeros à base de 2-vinilpiridina com propriedades bactericidas

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2011
We report the development of two copolymers based on 2-vinylpyridine, styrene and divinylbenzene (2Vpy-Sty-DVB) with different porosity degrees. The copolymers were subsequently quaternized with methyl iodide.

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

open access: yesMater Sci Eng R Rep, 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 ...
