“…The root mean square roughness (R q ) showed similar trends which was slightly down from 125.5 nm to 111.7 nm. These results are supported by Wu et al (2019) that stated hydrophilic side chains could decrease the roughness of the surface. Furthermore, these changes of roughness parameters agree well with changes of hydrophilicity of the films, proposing that hydrophilicity may play a vital role in the surface roughness of the films.…”

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) flat sheet film was modified with acrylic acid (AAC) by radiation induced grafting polymerization (RIGP) method using electron beam. The adsorbed doses were varied from 10 to 50 kGy, time of grafting from 1 to 3 h and monomer concentration and temperature were kept constant at 30 wt. % and 40ºC. The degree of grafting (D g) and equilibrium degree of swelling (EDS) of the grafted films were then determined. The films were further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical water contact angle. D g within the range of 17% to 210% were obtained for doses from 10 to 50 kGy within time of grafting from 1 to 3 h. The grafted film (PTFE-g-AAC) showed increased hydrophilicity leading to an increase in EDS. The successful grafting process was confirmed by FTIR results that showed characteristics peaks for carbonyl and hydroxyl group and a decrease in crystallinity for the PTFE-g-AACfilm. SEM images showed that PTFE-g-AAC films had less fibrillar compared to PTFE film and was consistent with the decrease in roughness for the PTFE-g-AAC film. This study indicated that modifying PTFE film by grafting AAC could significantly improve the hydrophilicity of PTFE film. The PTFE-g-AAC films has potential as a heavy metal adsorbent as it can remove at least 75% of Fe ion and 50 % of Pb ion from competitive media.

“…Polymeric ammonium quaternary compounds have been widely used for antibacterial applications due to the properties such as low volatility, high chemical stability, low toxicity and low skin irritation potential [ 11 , 12 ]. Along with several advantages of quaternary ammonium group to be used as antibacterial agent, there arise some complications during synthesis due to steric and electrostatic effects to obtain a complete quaternization [ 16 , 17 ]. These materials are promising to maintain antibacterial activity and to reduce the risk of toxicity [ 18 ].…”

Amphiphilic copolymers are recognized as important biomaterials and used as antibacterial agents due to their effective inhibition of bacterial growth. In current study, the amphiphilic copolymers of P(DMAEMA-co-MMA) were synthesized using free radical polymerization by varying the concentrations of hydrophilic monomer 2-dimethylamino ethylmethacrylate (DMAEMA) and hydrophobic monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) having PDI value of 1.65–1.93. The DMAEMA monomer, through ternary amine with antibacterial property optimized copolymers, P(DMAEMA-co-MMA), compositions to control biofilm adhesion. Antibacterial activity of synthesized copolymers was elucidated against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Gram-negative Escherchia coli (ATCC 8739) by disk diffusion method, and zones of inhibition were measured. The desired composition that was PDM1 copolymer had shown good zones of inhibition i.e., 19 ± 0.33 mm and 20 ± 0.33 mm for E. coli and S. aureus respectively. The PDM1 and PDM2 have exhibited significant control over bacterial biofilm adhesion as tested by six well plate method. SEM study of bacterial biofilm formation has illustrated that these copolymers act in a similar fashion like cationic biocide. These compositions viz. PDM1 and PDM2, may be useful in development of bioreactors, sensors, surgical equipment and drug delivery devices.

“…Biofouling is an undesirable growth of different types of microorganisms at a material surface that causes various problems including deterioration of polymeric materials, corrosion of metals, and decline in equipment efficiency [1]. Biofouling also damaged input/output signals of sensors and scanners installed in aquatic bodies by increasing opacity of transparent shields.…”

The scope of optical sensors and scanners in aquatic media, fluids, and medical diagnostics has been limited by paucity of transparent shielding materials with antifouling potential. In this research endeavor, facile synthesis, characterization, and bioassay of antifouling transparent functional copolymers are reported. Copolymers of 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate (SPMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized by free radical polymerization in various proportions. Samples PSM20, PSM30, PSM40, PSM50, and PSM60 contain 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% SPMA by weight, respectively. Resultant products were characterized by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized copolymers have exhibited excellent transparency, i.e., 75% to 88%, as determined by the UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis. Transmittance was decreased from 6% to 2% in these copolymers upon changing the concentration of 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate from 20% to 50% owing to bacterial and algal biofilm formation. Water contact angle values were ranged from 18° to 63° and decreased with the increase in the polarity of copolymers. The surface energy lowest value 58 mJ/m2 and highest value 72 mJ/m2 were calculated for PSM20 and PSM50, respectively, by the Chibowski approach and Young equation. Sample PSM50 has exhibited the highest antibacterial activities, i.e., 18 mm and 19 mm, against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, by the disk diffusion method. Copolymer PSM50 has shown minimum algal adhesion for Dictyosphaerium algae as observed by optical microscopy. This lower bacterial and algal adhesion is attributed to higher concentrations of anionic SPMA monomer that cause electrostatic repulsion between functional groups of the polymer and microorganisms. Thus, the resultant PSM50 product has exhibited good potential for optronics shielding application in aquatic medium and medical diagnostics.
