Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to compositions, methods, and treated surfaces that comprise a co-polymer composition comprising a rechargeable N-halamine moiety and one or more monomers. The compositions are pre-halogenated for providing a single step application for antimicrobial use without the need for a subsequent chlorine application for activation of antimicrobial properties. The copolymers provide for effective and rapid inactivation of bacteria and viruses, with improved solubility and stability.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- a copolymer formed by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising a rechargeable N-halamine moiety containing monomer, and a multifunctional crosslinker monomer comprising triglycerol diacrylate,
- wherein the rechargeable N-halamine moiety is pre-activated with a halogen.
A method of using a composition comprising:
- receiving a copolymer composition comprising a copolymer formed by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising a rechargeable N-halamine moiety containing monomer, and a multifunctional crosslinker monomer comprising triglycerol diacrylate, wherein the rechargeable N-halamine moiety is pre-activated with a halogen;
- and
- applying the copolymer composition to a surface.
A treated surface, comprising:
- a body comprising a treated surface comprising a copolymer composition,
- wherein the copolymer composition comprises a copolymer formed by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising a rechargeable N-halamine moiety containing monomer, and a multifunctional crosslinker monomer comprising triglycerol diacrylate;
- and
- wherein the rechargeable N-halamine moiety is pre-activated with a halogen.
