Abstract:Isothiouronium salts are well known for their biocidal activity; however, their environmental toxicity is problematic. The current manuscript describes the synthesis of the antibacterial vinylic monomer, isothiouronium methylstyrene (ITMS), as well as its dispersion co‐polymerization with the crosslinking monomer divinylbenzene to form micrometer‐sized crosslinked poly(isothiouronium methylstyrene) (PITMS) particles of narrow size distribution. The effect of crosslinking monomer, initiator, and stabilizer conc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
