Abstract

Antimicrobial polymers, also known as polymeric biocides, have been recently developed to overcome problems associated with the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoa. The research on this class of materials is growing fast due to their advantages over conventional antibacterial agents. Among different strategies, functionalised antimicrobial polymers attracted a lot of attention as evidenced in many researches. This chapter aims to introduce and describe the developments in the field of functionalised antimicrobial polymers for different applications. © 2020 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
