Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to polymerizable compounds that comprise biocidal activity and/or the potential for increased biocidal activity and that comprise at least one hydrophobic portion and at least one hydrophilic portion. Together the hydrophobic portion and the hydrophilic portion of the compounds may provide the polymerizable compounds with one or more surfactant-like properties. The polymerizable compounds can be incorporated into polymer coating formulations. The polymer coating formulations can be used to coat one or more surfaces of a substrate. The coating formulation can provide biocidal activity and/or the potential for increased biocidal activity to the coated substrate-surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes monomeric compounds and polymeric compounds that comprise at least one of the monomeric compounds and compositions that can be included in a coating composition for coating a substrate. The coated substrate may have biocidal activity or the potential for increased biocidal activity. The potential for increased biocidal activity may be realized by exposing the coated substrate to one or more further agents, such as one or more halogens. The monomer compound comprises (i) one or more cationic centers, (ii) an N-halamine precursor group, and (iii) at least one coating-incorporation group (CIG). The CIG bonds with another component within the coating composition or alternatively the CIG may bond with a component of the substrate. The CIG of the composition may incorporate the monomer into the coating composition, may incorporate the coating composition onto the substrate, or the CIG may perform both functions.
