Pan Y, Xia Q, Xiao H. Cationic Polymers with Tailored Structures for Rendering Polysaccharide-Based Materials Antimicrobial: An Overview. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:E1283. [PMID: 31374864 PMCID: PMC6723773 DOI: 10.3390/polym11081283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 07/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial polymers have attracted substantial interest due to high demands on improving the health of human beings via reducing the infection caused by various bacteria. The review presented herein focuses on rendering polysaccharides, mainly cellulosic-based materials and starch to some extent, antimicrobial via incorporating cationic polymers, guanidine-based types in particular. Extensive review on synthetic antimicrobial materials or plastic/textile has been given in the past. However, few review reports have been presented on antimicrobial polysaccharide, cellulosic-based materials, or paper packaging, especially. The current review fills the gap between synthetic materials and natural polysaccharides (cellulose, starch, and cyclodextrin) as substrates or functional additives for different applications. Among various antimicrobial polymers, particular attention in this review is paid to guanidine-based polymers and their derivatives, including copolymers, star polymer, and nanoparticles with core-shell structures. The review has also been extended to gemini surfactants and polymers. Cationic polymers with tailored structures can be incorporated into various products via surface grafting, wet-end addition, blending, or reactive extrusion, effectively addressing the dilemma of improving substrate properties and bacterial growth. Moreover, the pre-commercial trial conducted successfully for making antimicrobial paper packaging has also been addressed.

Abstract
Antimicrobial cotton fabrics received much attention for the demand of health and hygiene fields. In this work, an antimicrobial copolymer was prepared via a reaction between polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride and polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether. The copolymer has amphiphilic characteristic and excellent antimicrobial properties. When the copolymer was adhered onto cotton fabrics through physical adsorption and chemical bonding using dipping-drying method, the resultant cotton fabrics had excellent and durable antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial rates against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were higher than 99.99% when the adsorption amount of the copolymer was above 35.5mg/g. The antimicrobial cotton fabrics remained the excellent antimicrobial properties even after laundered with detergent solution.

Abstract
Cu(0)-mediated polymerization was employed to synthesize a library of structurally varied cationic polymers and their application as antibacterial peptide mimics was assessed. Eight platform polymers were first synthesized with low degrees of polymerization (DP) using (2-Boc-amino)ethyl acrylate as the monomer and either ethyl α-bromoisobutyrate or dodecyl 2-bromoisobutyrate as the initiator (thus providing hydrocarbon chain termini of C2 or C12, respectively). A two-step modification strategy was then employed to generate the final sixteen-member polymer library. Specifically, an initial deprotection was employed to reveal the primary amine cationic polymers, followed by guanylation. The biocidal activity of these cationic polymers was assessed against various strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Polymers having a short segment of guanidine units and a C12 hydrophobic terminus were shown to provide the broadest antimicrobial activity against the panel of isolates studied, with MIC values approaching those for Gram-positive targeting antibacterial peptides: daptomycin and vancomycin. The C12-terminated guanidine functional polymers were assayed against human red blood cells, and a concomitant increase in haemolysis was observed with decreasing DP. Cytotoxicity was tested against HEK293 and HepG2 cells, with the lowest DP C12-terminated polymer exhibiting minimal toxicity over the concentrations examined, except at the highest concentration. Membrane disruption was identified as the most probable mechanism of bacteria cell killing, as elucidated by membrane permeability testing against E. coli.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the self-assembly between the components, novel stable antibacterial nanoparticles were efficiently fabricated via a facile one-step co-polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) on a mixed aqueous solution of poly(hexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride) (PHMG) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). The z-average hydrodynamic diameters of the nanoparticles ranged from 220 nm to 450 nm. The inner layer of the nanoparticles is composed of water-insoluble interpolymer complexes of PHMG and PAA networks, while the outer layer is composed of PHMG and HEC. The nanoparticles are stabilized by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding interactions, and the chemical bonds. The nanoparticle solution remained stable in a wide pH range of 2.0-12.0 and at salt concentrations below 0.25 mol/L. The nanoparticles were incorporated into handsheets using a dipping treatment. The resulted handsheets exhibited excellent antimicrobial activities even after multiple water washing treatments. The nanoparticles are promising in fabricating paper, water-based coatings and textiles with permanent antibacterial activity.
