Biocidal nanofibers via electrospinning

To achieve biocidal properties, a cyclic N‐halamine precursor, 7,7,9,9‐tetramethyl‐1,3,8‐triazaspiro[4.5]‐decane‐2,4‐dione (TTDD), was synthesized and introduced into nanosized polyacrylonitrile fibrous mat by an electrospinning technique. It was rendered antimicrobial by exposure to dilute hypochlo...

Zusammenfassung:To achieve biocidal properties, a cyclic N‐halamine precursor, 7,7,9,9‐tetramethyl‐1,3,8‐triazaspiro[4.5]‐decane‐2,4‐dione (TTDD), was synthesized and introduced into nanosized polyacrylonitrile fibrous mat by an electrospinning technique. It was rendered antimicrobial by exposure to dilute hypochlorite solution. Synthesis routes and characterization data are presented. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the ultrafine fiber possessed average diameter 414 nm (from 240 to 650 nm). The chlorinated nanofibrous composites provided about 4.9 log reductions of both Gram‐positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Gram‐negative bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 (ATCC 43895) within 5 min of contact time. This is indicative of promising possible applications in the filtration of water and air. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013
