Effect of Cationic Groups on the Selectivity of Ternary Antimicrobial Polymers

Autor: Phuong Pham, Susan Oliver, Duong Thanh Nguyen, Cyrille Boyer

Publikováno v: Macromolecular rapid communications. 43(21)

Antimicrobial polymers (AMPs) have emerged as a promising approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. Developed from binary polymers, which contain cationic and hydrophobic groups, ternary polymers are enhanced by adding neutral hydrophilic mon
