Non‐Amphiphilic Antimicrobial Polymers

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a severe threat to modern health care and must be addressed to prevent millions of deaths in the coming decades. Antimicrobial polymers (APs) do not provoke resistances and are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Classic APs possess an amphiphilic structure (cationic and hydrophobic).

Preparation, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activities of Ceragenins Incorporated Into Polyvinyl Alcohol/Gelatin/Sodium Alginate‐Based Hydrogels for Treatment of Burn Wounds

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ceragenins are synthetic molecules that mimic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the human immune system. They feature a bile acid‐based structure with appended positively charged groups that disrupt bacterial cell membranes, leading to microbial cell death or inactivation.

Recent Advances in PBAT (Nano) Composite Materials for Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) is the most commonly used plastic. PBAT‐based (nano) composites provide a lot of potential as food wrapping. The preparation of plastics based on PBAT composites is described. PBAT materials' distinctive properties lead to suitability for application in food packaging.
