EG12 was first synthesized and characterized with proton nuclear mag- netic resonance spectra and mass spectra. The antibacterial activities of EG12 and GWPU were evaluated by quanti- fying the minimal inhibitory concentration. The results indicated that the gemini quaternary ammonium chain extender EG12 and GWPU showed excellent antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This work provides a new and facile approach to prepare novel antibacterial materials, which could be applied as coatings in various fields to prevent microbial contamination.展开更多
