Summaries

A series of free radical comb-type acrylic copolymers was prepared in a solution incorporating charged and/or neutral stabilising species on the backbone. The polymer solutions were formulated with cationic biocides to give physically stable formulations with a long shelf life. Furthermore, through the control of polymer architecture of both the side-chain and the backbone, hydrophobicity, a controlled release of a biocide could be achieved. This technology has resulted in the design of temporary coatings demonstrating a sustained surface disinfecting effect. In laboratory trials, coated surfaces with polymeric/biocidal formulations continued to show a disinfection effect after several washes.

Résumé

Une série de copolymères acryliques en peigne à radical libre a été préparée dans une solution qui incorporait sur la chaîne principale des espèces stabilisantes chargées et/ou neutres. Les solutions polymériques étaient formulées en utilisant des biocides cationiques pour donner des formulations qui étaient physiquement stables et qui jouissaient d’une longue durée de conservation avant vente. D’ailleurs, grâce au contrôle de l’architecture polymérique et de la chaîne latérale et de la chaîne principale on pouvait atteindre l’hydrophobicité, une libération contrôlée d’un biocide. Cette technologie a abouti à la conception de revêtements temporaires qui font preuve d’un effet soutenu en ce qui concerne la désinfection de surfaces. Au cours des essais de laboratoire, des surfaces revêtues de formulations polymériques/biocides ont continué à faire preuve d’un effet désinfectant même après plusieurs lavages.

Zusammenfassung

Eine Serie von kammartigen, frei-radikalen Akryl-Kopolymeren wurde in einer Lösung mit geladenen und/oder neutralen Stabilisatoren im Rückgrat hergestellt. Die Polymerlösungen wurden mit kationischen Bioziden hergestellt, die sie lange haltbar machten. Die Hydrophobität sowohl des Polymer-Rückgrades als auch der Nebenketten wurde genau kontolliert, damit das Biozid zielgerecht freigesetzt werden konnte. Diese Technologie hat es uns erlaubt, den Testanstrichen eine nachhaltige Oberflächendisinfektionswirkung zu verleihen. Laborversuche zeigten daß die antimikrobielle Wirkung trotz mehrerer Waschvorgänge verblieb.
