The present technology provides siderophore-polymer conjugates that enhance the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics, e.g., Pseudomonas, P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, and A. baumannii. Methods of preparing and using such conjugates to treat bacterial infections are disclosed.

The present teachings relate to curable linear polymers that can be used as active and/or passive organic materials in various electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices. In some embodiments, the device can include an organic semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer prepared from such curable linear polymers. In some embodiments, the device can include a passivation layer prepared from the linear polymers described herein. The present linear polymers can be solution-processed, then cured thermally (particularly, at relatively low temperatures) and/or photochemically into various thin film materials with desirable properties.

The Applicants respectfully request that the abstract of the instant application be removed in its entirety and replaced with the following wording. Organyloxysilyl-terminated polymers end groups of the formula (I) and 1,3-dioxolane copolymer units (DP) of the general formula (II) in the backbone. Along with methods of producing and uses for the same.
