| Abstract | Densely grafted star- and comb-shaped molecular brushes composed of poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] were prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using either cyclotriphosphazenes or polyphosphazenes as initiators. The grafting conditions were optimized in order to obtain well controlled brush structures. The kinetics of the reactions were first-order with respect to the monomer concentration in both cyclotriphosphazene and polyphosphazene systems. The resultant star- and comb-shaped brushes were quaternized with iodomethane, iodobutane, iodoheptane, iododecane and iodododecane, and the products were characterized by NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Electrospinning of the quaternized brushes gave rise to microfibers with diameters in range of 700 nm to 1.1 μm, evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibacterial activity of the quaternized brush species in both aqueous solution and as fibrous solids against Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been evaluated. In aqueous solution, star-shaped brushes quaternized with iodoheptane showed the best antibacterial effect, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 250 μg mL−1. In the fibrous solid state, more than 99% of E. coli were killed within 2 h after contacting 100 mg of microfibers electrospun from the star-shaped brush polymers quaternized with either iododecane or iodododecane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
