Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a process for forming an antimicrobial polymer composition comprising: contacting together at least one initiator, at least one promoter, at least one reductant, and at least one monomer, under emulsion polymerization conditions to form a base polymer; and mixing with the base polymer an antimicrobial complex; wherein the at least one initiator is a peroxidic compound and the at least one reductant is an ascorbic compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for forming an antimicrobial polymer composition comprising: (a) contacting together at least one initiator, at least one reductant, and at least one monomer, under emulsion polymerization conditions to form a base polymer; and (b) mixing with the base polymer an antimicrobial complex; wherein the at least one initiator is a peroxidic compound and the at least one reductant is an ascorbic compound. 2. The process of claim 1 , further comprising adding at least one promoter during the formation of the base polymer. 3. The process of claim 1 , further comprising adding an oxidant compound, wherein the amount of oxidant compound to be added, by weight percentage based on the dry weight of the antimicrobial polymer composition is from 0.004 to 10%. 4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the peroxidic compound is tert-butyl hydroperoxide. 5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the ascorbic compound is iso-ascorbic acid. 6. The process of claim 2 , wherein the at least one promoter comprises ferrous II ion. 7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the antimicrobial complex is a metal complexed with a copolymer, wherein the metal is selected from copper, silver, gold, tin, zinc and combinations thereof. 8. A process for forming an aqueous coating composition comprising: (a) dispersing a pigment in an aqueous medium, (b) combining the pigment with a antimicrobial polymer composition formed according to the process in claim 1 .
