Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques regarding ionene and/or polyionene compositions with antimicrobial functionalities are provided. For example, one or more embodiments can comprise a chemical compound, which can comprise an ionene unit. The ionene unit can comprise a cation distributed along a degradable backbone. The degradable backbone can comprise a norspermidine structure having a carbonyl group. Also, the ionene unit can have antimicrobial functionality.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A chemical compound comprising: an ionene unit comprising a plurality of nitrogen cations distributed along a molecular backbone, the molecular backbone comprising a norspermidine structure, wherein the ionene unit has antimicrobial functionality, and wherein the ionene unit is characterized by a formula: wherein X represents the plurality of nitrogen cations, wherein R represents a hydrophobic aryl functional group, and wherein n represents an integer greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to one thousand. 2. The chemical compound of claim 1 , wherein the ionene unit has a structure characterized by a formula: wherein then represents the integer greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to one thousand.
