Synthesis and characterization of metal‐containing polyurethanes with antibacterial activity

Abstract

Metal salts of mono(hydroxypentyl)phthalate [M(HPP) 2 , where M is Ca 2ϩ , Cd 2ϩ , Pb 2ϩ , or Zn 2ϩ ] were synthesized by the reaction of 1,5-pentane diol, phthalic anhydride, and metal acetate. A new series of metal-containing polyurethanes containing ionic links in the main chain were synthesized by the reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate or toluylene 2,4-diisocyanate with the M(HPP) 2 salts. The structures of the monomers and polymers were confirmed with infrared, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR spectra and elemental analysis. The polymers were also characterized with thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and solubility and viscosity measurements. The antibacterial activity of these polyurethanes was investigated with the agar diffusion method.

New Bioactive Heteroleptic Copper(II) Carboxylates: Structure, Enzymatic and DNA-Binding Studies

“…[1][2][3][4] A number of bioactive metal carboxylates have also been reported to date. 5,6 Inevitable relationship between chemical reactions naturally carried out within the human body, pharmacology and medicine has lead the scientists to design new bioactive materials in the form of potent drugs for therapeutic intervention in treatment of many life threatening diseases. Metal charge, interactions with ligands, structure and bonding, Lewis acid character, partially filled d-shell and its redox activity defines its suitability for biological systems.…”

Synthesis and characterization of calcium-containing polyurethane using calcium lactate as a chain extender

“…[1][2][3][4] This wide variety of properties arises due to the combination of covalent hydrocarbon polymer chains and ionic salt species in the same molecule. 5 Metal-containing ionic groups can be incorporated into polyurethane either by an ionic bond 6,7 or by coordination interactions. 8,9 By incorporating an ionic group, the blood compatibility of polyurethane can be improved.…”

Antimicrobial and Thermal Properties of Coating Systems Modified with ZnO Nanoparticle and its Hybrid Forms: (A Review)

“…Coating systems such as polyesteramides, polyetheramides, polyesteramide-urethanes are synthesized from plant base polyol platforms as exemplified in Scheme 1 8,10 . The synthesized pristine organic coating products however shows limited thermal, corrosion, antimicrobial, rigidity, and chemical characteristic properties required in structural applications [12][13][14] . It is in the light of this, that researchers are incorporating designed nanoparticles within the polymeric matrix of pristine coatings in order to reinforce the characteristic properties of the polymer composite thereby, creating innovative solutions in the area of optics, electronics, biomedical and material science.…”
