Abstract

A phosphonium-containing polyurethane composition can include an aqueous liquid vehicle including water, organic co-solvent, and surfactant, and polyurethane particles including a polyurethane polymer with a polyurethane backbone. The polyurethane polymer can have pendant side chain groups along the polyurethane backbone as well as end cap groups terminating the polyurethane polymer. The pendant side chain groups and the end cap groups can collectively include aliphatic phosphonium salts and polyalkylene oxides.
