To address this issue, the application of coatings on material surfaces has consistently proven to be a viable strategy. Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) stands out due to its cost-effectiveness, safety profile, environmental sustainability, and widespread applicability across various domains. However, owing to its limited antibacterial properties, it is seldom utilized as an antibacterial coating. This study delves into the antibacterial attributes of water-based polyurethane modified by L-Phe and QAs. The modified WPU exhibits exceptional antibacterial activity with effective inhibition of bacterial growth. The prepared emulsions demonstrate uniform dispersion in water with average particle sizes ranging from 46.63 nm to 153.95 nm. Zeta potential and centrifugal tests confirm the stability of the emulsion. Introduction of L-Phe increases the contact angle to 98.8°, a marked increase compared to pure quaternary ammonium based waterborne polyurethane-indicating heightened crosslinking density and film hydrophobicity post modification with L-Phe. The antibacterial test reveals that the aqueous polyurethane emulsion modified by quaternary ammonium salt and phenylalanine displays significant antibacterial activity against <em>Escherichia coli</em> and <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> with maximum zone diameters reaching 15.6 mm and 15.8 mm respectively–significantly surpassing those observed for pure quaternary ammonium based aqueous polyurethanes. This suggests that introducing hydrophobic amino acid functional groups into quaternary ammonium based waterborne polyurethane systems can enhance both hydrophobicity and antibacterial activity, providing valuable insights for developing high-performance biocompatible antibacterial waterborne polyurethanes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20834,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Organic Coatings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142311534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present a novel approach to interpreting the low-frequency impedance of industrial coatings that takes into account the relevance of the coating properties that determine their barrier and adhesion durability. Modern, high adhesion, low VOC polymer coatings utilize cross-linking chemistry with polar or hydrogen bonding materials, leading to the apparent paradox that coatings exhibit corrosion creep values that are very low and inversely related to the barrier effect derived from the EIS response. In practice, once the corrosion creep rate is negligible, the ability of a coating to act as a long-term effective barrier, especially at edges and welds, becomes a major concern, and the improvement in durability relies on the improvement of the barrier. In the present study, we investigated the barrier effect of conventional partial and full offshore coating systems with epoxy and epoxy mastic layers applied without and with zinc-rich or zinc phosphate primers and polyurethane topcoats. The panels were aged for two years in an atmospheric offshore-like conditions and subsequently exhibited defects due to inadequate coating thickness, number of layers, surface preparation and inadequate application practice.
