Abstract:Fibrous materials with inherent antimicrobial properties
can help
in real-time deactivation of microorganisms, enabling multiple uses
while reducing secondary infections. Coatings with antiviral polymers
enhance the surface functionality for existing and potential future
pandemics. Herein, we demonstrated a straightforward route toward
biocidal surface creation using polymers with nucleophilic biguanide,
guanidine, and hydantoin groups that are covalently attached onto
a solid support. Biocidal poly(N-vinylgua… Show more
