Zusammenfassung:Techniques regarding ionene and/or polyionene compositions with antimicrobial functionality and enhanced hydrophilicity are provided. For example, one or more embodiments can regard a chemical compound that can comprise an ionene unit, which can comprise a cation distributed along a degradable backbone. The degradable backbone can comprise a terephthalamide structure. The ionene unit can have antimicrobial functionality. Further, the chemical compound can comprise a hydrophilic functional group covalently bonded to the ionene unit. Also, the chemical compound can have carbohydrate mimetic functionality.
