摘要：
Provided are multifunctional polymers comprising at least one anhydride repeating unit with at least one pseudo-cationic moiety graft and at least one hydrophobic graft. The grafting functionalizations can occur before, during, or after polymerizing the monomer(s). The anhydride employed may be partially or fully opened to provide amic acids, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acidic salts, imides, esters, and mixtures thereof. The polymers also may comprise other repeating units, including, but not limited to, alpha-olefins. In one embodiment the polymers exhibit antimicrobial activity, and can be employed in a wide variety of compositions, including those where antimicrobial activity is useful. A method of providing microbial activity also is provided.
