Abstract [en]

An increased sustainabile awarness has inspired the development of new polymeric networks in a remarkable way and this strive should be combined with environmentally concerned end-uses. Therefore, a UV-crosslinked polyhydroxyurethane film with antibacterial properties is developed. First, a hydroxyurethane precursor is synthesized using aminolysis condensation, circumventing the use of isocyanates. The films are subsequently crosslinked under solvent-free conditions through a UV-triggered thiol-ene mechanism. The reactions are monitored by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, and the networks have gel contents above 90%, and are transparent, hydrophilic, and highly flexible. Antibacterial properties are achieved by a controlled quaternization of the network's tertiary-amine and methylation of thiol-ether functionality, resulting in quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and sulfonium compounds. The antibacterial properties are evaluated against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using the agar plate diffusion and tube shaking methods. The QAC-loaded films exhibit outstanding bactericide properties (>99.9%) and the antibacterial mechanism is demonstrated to be a dual killing mechanism, i.e., diffusion killing and contact active killing.
