Preparation of quaternarized N-halamine-grafted graphene oxide nanocomposites and synergetic antibacterial properties

At present,frequent outbreaks of bacteria and viruses have seriously affected people's normal lives.Therefore,the study of broad-spectrum antibacterial nanocomposites is very promising.However,most antibacterial materials have some disadvantages,such as single bactericidal mechanisms and unrepeatable use.Based on the current situation,a kind of nanocomposite with three structures of graphene oxide(GO),quaternary ammonium salt(QAs)and N-halamine was prepared,which showed synergistic effect to improve antibacterial activity and combined with a variety of sterilization mechanisms.Meanwhile,GO can provide richer ways of sterilization and high specific surface area,which is conducive to the grafting of quaternarized N-halamine.The advantages of physical sterilization of GO,charge adsorption of QAs,reuse of N-halamine and efficient sterilization are fully utilized.The results showed that the quaternarized N-halamine-grafted GO was obtained successfully.GO grafted with quaternarized N-halamine polymer showed strong speedy bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli(E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)(99%).It had good storage and regeneration properties.
