A new N-halamine monomer, N-chloro-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl methacrylate (Cl-TMPM), was synthesized and used to prepare water-based polymeric N-halamines by emulsion polymerization. The chemical structures of the samples were characterized with Fourier transform IR, 13C NMR, UV/vis, differential scanning calorimetry analyses. Upon addition a small amount latex emulsions into commercial paints as antimicrobial additives, provided potent activities against Staphylococcus aureus (S....
A series of 3-alkyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin derivatives were prepared by reacting 5,5-dimethylhydantoin with alkyl bromides different chain length (C-2 to C-22). Upon chlorination, the hydration transformed into 1-chloro-3-alkyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoins (CADMH). The structures samples fully characterized FT-IR, (1)H NMR, UV, and DSC analyses. antimicrobial functions CADMH challenged 10(8-9) CFU/mL Escherichia coli (gram-negative bacteria) Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive bacteria). All...
Chlorination of poly(m-phenyleneisophthalamide) (Nomex) and poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (Kevlar) fabrics by sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution was investigated. Results indicated that stable N-halamine structures could be readily formed in Nomex, which provided potent, durable, refreshable antibacterial functions against both Gram-negative Gram-positive bacteria. However, similar chlorination treatment Kevlar led to serious hydrolysis the polymer. The treated were fully characterized...
Abstract Two novel cyclic‐amine monomers, i.e., 3‐allyl‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (ADMH) and 7,8‐benzo‐3 allyl‐1,3‐diazasprio[4.5]decane‐2,4‐dione (BADDD) were synthesized with good yields by reacting allyl bromide 5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (DMH) 7,8‐benzo‐1,3‐diazasprio[4.5]decane‐2,4‐dione (BDDD), respectively. The monomers characterized FTIR 1 H‐NMR spectra, copolymerized acrylonitrile (AN), vinyl acetate (VAC), methyl methacrylate (MMA) in a small monomer ratio of ADMH BDDD, copolymers FTIR,...
Abstract In this study, a continuous “pad‐dry‐cure” process was developed for the first time to graft cycloamine monomer, 3‐allyl‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (ADMH), onto several high performance fibers, including Nomex, Kermel, and PBI/Kevlar blend. The influence of reaction conditions on grafting copolymerizaiton studied. It found that in presence difunctional poly(ethylene glycol)–diacrylate (PEG–DIA), ADMH could be readily grafted these fibers. After exposure chlorine, hydantoin structures...

Abstract A novel cyclic‐amine monomer, 3‐allyl‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (ADMH) was synthesized and characterized. ADMH alone could not be grafted onto ordinary polymers. However, the presence of triallyl‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐trione (TATAT) remarkably enhanced grafting yield synthetic fabrics.
