Because of the excellent film-forming ability of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel and high-efficient bactericidal property of quaternary ammonium salt (QAS), QAS-based PNIPAM (QAS-PNIPAM) microgels are synthesized and employed to modify the surface of a range of commonly used materials including metal, plastic, and elastomer. Bacterial culture is carried out on such QAS-PNIPAM microgel-modified surfaces to examine the viability of the attached bacteria. It is found that the bactericidal efficiency is nearly 100% on the modified surfaces of all the studied materials. We attribute the high-efficient bactericidal performance of QAS-PNIPAM microgel film to the QAS component rather than the topog. of the microgel film itself. In addition, the microgel film is robust and shows great integrity even after culture of the bacteria and repeated rinses, and the cell experiment demonstrates that this microgel film is cyto-compatible. Therefore, such a simple, versatile method of preparing antibacterial films paves the way for future bactericidal applications. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8Name: 1,6-Dibromohexane)
1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8) is generally used to introduce C6 spacer in the molecular architecture. Some of the examples are: synthesis of solvent processable and conductive polyfluorene ionomers for alkaline fuel cell applications; synthesis of cross-linkable regioregular poly(3-(5-hexenyl)thiophene) (P3HNT) for stabilizing the film morphology in polymer photovoltaic cells.Name: 1,6-Dibromohexane
