The pervasiveness of microbial infections and the development of resistance in bacteria against traditional antibiotics have created a need for an alternative solution. Synthetic materials such as cationic cyclic Poly 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate copolymerized with tert-butyl methacrylate P(DMAEMA-co-tBMA) are of interest due to the difficulty for bacteria to modify their entire cell membrane to develop resistance. This paper reports the successful synthesis of the cyclic and linear architectures of cationic P(DMAEMA-co-tBMA) to investigate and compare their respective antimicrobial properties. The two variants were polymerized utilizing ATRP and the cyclic structure was obtained via intra-chain ‘click’ cyclization. They were then ch...
