Chemical vapor deposition of antimicrobial polymer coatings
… making a wide variety of materials and surfaces antimicrobial. Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD), a solventless low-temperature process, is used to form thin films of polymers on fragile substrates. To improve research efficiency, a new combinatorial iCVD system was fabricated and used …

Antimicrobial Polymers as Adjuvants/Synergists of Antibiotics to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
… now become a critical global healthcare issue. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and synthetic mimics thereof have shown promise in combating MDR bacteria effectively, mainly because of their mechanism of action that disrupts bacteria cell membrane, consequently hindering resistance development in …

Improving blood compatibility of surfaces using tanfloc and carboxymethyl-kappa-carrageenan polyelectrolyte multilayers
… through surface modifications using bio-derived polymers and nanoscale topographies. The first aim focuses on developing polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) using tanfloc (TAN), an amphoteric antimicrobial polymer, as both a polycation and polyanion. These PEMs showed strong antibacterial activity …

Multi-functional polymers from polyamines and functional five-membered cyclic carbonates
… is concerned with the synthesis of functional polymers prepared by ring-opening reaction of functional five-membered cyclic carbonates with polyamines. The functionality of the polymers defines their properties and their application: multi-functional poly(ethylene imine)s for antimicrobial …

From cyclic carbonate bifunctional couplers to amphiphilic poly(ethylene imine)s
… preparation process on their microstructure and antimicrobial properties was studied in chapter 6. In the antimicrobial process, cationic and hydrophobic functional groups interact both with the bacterial membrane. The way of cationic and hydrophobic groups linked to each other and linked on the …

In vitro cytotoxicity and skin irritation testing of antimicrobial conjugated electrolytes : interactions with mammalian cells
… cationic phenylene ethynylene (CPE)-based polymers (PPEs) and oligomers (OPEs) have been demonstrated to exhibit dark and light-activated antimicrobial activity. Envisioned applications of these CPEs include the fabrication of antimicrobial surfaces to reduce or prevent the spread of …
