Preparation and Properties of Antibacterial Polymer Structural Color Microspheres
P(St-MMA-DAC) polymer microspheres with different particle sizes were synthesized by soap free emulsion polymerization using methyl methacrylate (MMA)
styrene (St) and acryloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DAC). The structural colors were formed on polyester fabric by atomization deposition of these P(St-MMA-DAC) polymer microspheres. Infrared spectroscopy
scanning electron microscopy
particle size
reflectance spectroscopy
and antibacterial performance tests were conducted on P(St-MMA-DAC) polymer microspheres and structural color fabrics. The results indicate that P(St-MMA-DAC) polymer microspheres with different particle sizes can be obtained by changing the monomer ratios during the synthesis process
which can form five different structural colors of blue
pink
green
cyan
and purple on polyester fabrics. The antibacterial rates of structural c
olor fabrics against
Escherichia coli
(
E. coli
) and
Staphylococcus aureus
(
S. aureus
) can reach over 98%
showing excellent antibacterial properties. This study provides a research basis for the development of functional polymer microspheres and their application in textile
