“…Many biocidal functionalities such as N -halamines ( N -chloramines and N -bromamines) [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], antibiotics [ 8 , 9 ], quaternary ammonia salts [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], reactive oxygen species [ 13 , 14 ], and heavy-metal ions [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] have been incorporated onto cellulose to give an antibacterial ability. N -halamines, produced by halogenation of imide/amide/amine N−H to N−X (X=Cl, Br), have many advantages, since they are highly powerful, rechargeable, broad-spectrum, and not susceptible to bacterial resistance.…”
