Abstract
Bacterial infections are a common problem associated with wound treatment that imposes a significant burden on healthcare systems and patients. As a result, healthcare providers urgently need new treatment strategies to protect people. Hydrogel biomaterials with inherent antimicrobial properties offer an attractive and viable solution to this issue. Here, for the first time, we have developed a new efficient synthetic strategy to prepare cationic hydrogels (PHCI) with intrinsically efficient antimicrobial properties by chemically cross-linking trans-1,4-cyclohexanediamine with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol using a condensation reaction without the use of toxic cross-linking agents. As expected, the prepared PHCI…
