Provided herewith are microbicidal polymers comprising an alkylene oxide backbone comprising one or more alkyl and/or alkylene oxide primary branches, in which at least one of the alkyl and/or alkylene oxide primary branches is functionalized with a quaternary ammonium or fluorinated group, or at least two of the alkyl and/or alkylene oxide primary branches are functionalized with a quaternary ammonium and fluorinated group, the primary branches optionally contain one or more alkyl and/or alkylene oxide secondary branches that are functionalized with a quaternary ammonium or fluorinated group, compositions comprising the polymer and a carrier, and methods of using the same.
A polymer comprising an alkylene oxide backbone to which are attached one or more alkyl or alkylene oxide primary branches, wherein at least one of the alkyl or alkyene oxide primary branches is functionalized with a quaternary ammonium group or a fluorinated group, or at least two of the alkyl or alkylene oxide primary branches are functionalized with a quaternary ammonium group and a fluorinated group, wherein the alkyl or alkylene oxide primary branches optionally contain one or more alkyl or alkylene oxide secondary branches that are functionalized with a quaternary ammonium group or a fluorinated group, wherein said polymer is associated with an anion to maintain electro-neutrality when a quaternary ammonium group is present.
