Original copolymers from a novel class of antimicrobial vinyl monomers

一种新型抗菌乙烯基单体的原始共聚物。如今，许多消费品需要高效、耐用的抗菌性能，而不需要化学浸出，以符合更严格的环境法规。对于瞄准欧洲市场的出口商来说尤其如此。这些市场受REACH法规（化学品的注册、评估、授权和限制）的约束。在全球范围内，客户可以指定抗菌纺织品符合Oeko-Tex或Bluesign标准。在北美，CCPSA（加拿大消费品安全法）和CPSIA（美国消费品安全改进法案）规定，除其他外，消费品中的抗菌重金属，如银（Ag）或铜（Cu）。考虑到对可能从消费品中重金属浸出（金属离子移出）以及毒性和环境问题（例如：对鱼类的毒性）的关注，非浸出无毒的抗菌素替代品是非常可取的。拟议项目的目的是开发将显示这些属性的原始抗菌共聚物。这一开发的成功最终将使新型抗菌纺织品的生产和商业化成为可能，包括防护制服/套装、伤口敷料、服装、运动服、室内装潢面料、床上用品等。

Original copolymers from a novel class of antimicrobial vinyl monomers.Nowadays, many consumer products require efficient, durable antimicrobial performance without chemical leaching to comply with stricter environmental regulations. It is particularly true for exporters who target European markets. These markets are under the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). Worldwide, customers can specify that antimicrobial textiles meet Oeko-Tex or Bluesign standards. In North America, CCPSA (Canada Consumer Product Safety Act) and CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act -USA) regulate, among other things, antimicrobial heavy metals such as Silver (Ag) or Copper (Cu) in consumer products. Given the concern about possible heavy metal leaching (metallic ions moving out) from consumer products and toxicity and environmental issues (ex: toxicity to fishes), non-leaching non-toxic antimicrobial alternatives are highly desirable. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop original antimicrobial copolymers that will show these attributes. The success of this development will allow, eventually, the manufacturing and commercialization of new antimicrobial textile products, including protective uniforms/suits, wound dressings, clothings, sportswear, upholstery fabrics, bedding fabrics, etc.
