Cationic polymers are prospective fungicidal agents for inhibiting plant diseases because of the controllability of their structure and properties. This study investigates the effect of the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance on the antifungal activities of antimicrobial polymers against phytopathogenic fungi (Rhizoctonia solaniKühn AG-1(IA)), the pathogen of rice sheath blight (RShB). A series of polydimethylsiloxane-polymethacrylate block copolymers containing quaternary ammonium salts (PDMS-b-QPDMAEMA, labeled as SnQm;nandmrepresent 1000th of the molecular weight of the PDMS and QPDMAEMA chain, respectively) were synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The abilities of the quaternary ammonium salts to adsorb onto the surface ofR. solanisclerotia and permeate theR. solanisclerotia were investigated on the basis of static water contact angles and fluorescence labeling. The results indicated that the moderately hydrophobic PDMS chain helped stabilize the attachment of the hydrophilic QPDMAEMA chain and then help it penetrate theR. solanisclerotia. Its antifungal properties towardR. solaniwere characterized by determining its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) and the inhibition rate ofR. solanisclerotia germination. The hydrophobic PDMS chains had a significant influence on the antifungal activities of amphiphilic SnQmagainstR. solanisclerotia. This work highlights the prospective application of amphiphilic antimicrobial polymers as antifungal agents for inhibiting plant diseases.
