Abstract
A polymer having a structure according to the following formula (I): wherein: A represents a hydrophilic group; B represents a hydrophobic aromatic group such as 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl (Dansyl), 9-fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl (Fmoc) and naphthalene (Naphth); D and E independently represent amine groups; F represents an amine group, the amine group being substituted with a B group and an A group, or the amine group being a quaternary ammonium moiety; wherein W, X, Y and Z each independently have values greater than or equal to (1), especially in the range of (1) to (10).
