## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the chemistry, design, and applications of antimicrobial polymers, particularly those containing quaternary ammonium compounds. It explores the mechanisms of action, resistance development, and surface modification for creating biocidal materials. The cluster also delves into the potential of antimicrobial polymers as alternatives to traditional antibiotics. |
