摘要
Developing bioprotective materials with bactericidal activity is of great significance since it can effectively keep healthcare workers from infection by emerging infectious diseases;however,this is still a big challenge.Herein,we fabricate a novel rechargeable N-halamine antibacterial material by functionalizing electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene)(EVOH)nanofibers with dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin(DMDMH).The premise of the design is that the N-halamine com-pound,DMDMH,can be covalently grafted on the nanofibers,endowing the EVOH nanofibrous membranes(ENM)with rechargeable and durable bactericidal activity.The as-prepared DMDMH functionalized ENM(EDNM)render rechargeable chlorination capacity(>2000 ppm),high inactivation efficacy against bacteria(>99.9999%within 3 min),high filtration efficiency(>99.5%)under low air resistance,and robust mechanical properties,which are due to the synergistic effect of the unique characters of N-halamines and electrospun nanofibrous architecture.The successful synthesis of the N-halamine antibacterial membranes can serve as a functional layer of protective equipment that capable of inactivating and intercepting pathogenic bioaerosols,providing new ways into the development of new-generation antibacterial bioprotective materials.
