==ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274779 titled 'ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES AND RELATED METHODS

==Simplified Explanation==

The composition of this patent application includes an antimicrobial monomer, a non-fluorinated crosslinking monomer, a polar monomer, and a nonpolar monomer, which together make up more than 95% of the total weight of the composition. The article produced from this composition is a film with pendent groups covalently bonded in a crosslinked non-fluorinated acrylic network.

* Antimicrobial monomer represented by formula CH═C(R)—C(O)—O-Q-N(R)CH(X—)
* Non-fluorinated crosslinking monomer with at least two acrylate groups or methacrylate groups
* Polar monomer with at least one of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a carboxylate salt
* Nonpolar monomer represented by formula CH═C(R)—C(O)—O—R

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in medical devices, food packaging, and antimicrobial coatings.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in preventing the growth of harmful microorganisms on surfaces, reducing the risk of infections and contamination.

== Benefits ==
The antimicrobial properties of the composition help in maintaining a hygienic environment, especially in healthcare settings. The non-fluorinated nature of the crosslinking monomer makes it environmentally friendly.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Antimicrobial Acrylic Composition for Various Industries"

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of fluorinated crosslinking monomers in antimicrobial coatings.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this composition compare to existing antimicrobial coatings in terms of effectiveness and durability? ===
The effectiveness and durability of this composition compared to other antimicrobial coatings are not addressed in the abstract. Further research or testing may be needed to determine this.

=== What are the potential environmental impacts of using this non-fluorinated composition compared to fluorinated alternatives? ===
The abstract does not mention any specific information about the environmental impacts of using this non-fluorinated composition. Additional studies or assessments may be required to evaluate this aspect.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The composition includes an antimicrobial monomer represented by formula CH═C(R)—C(O)—O-Q-N(R)CH(X—), a non-fluorinated crosslinking monomer having at least two acrylate groups, methacrylate groups, or a combination thereof, a polar monomer having at least one of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a carboxylate salt thereof, and a nonpolar monomer represented by formula CH═C(R)—C(O)—O—R. The antimicrobial monomer, the non-fluorinated crosslinking monomer, the polar monomer, and the nonpolar monomer together account for greater than 95 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The article includes a film having a plurality of pendent groups represented by formula —C(O)—O-Q-N(R)CH(X—) covalently bonded in a crosslinked non-fluorinated acrylic network. A method of making an article is also described.
