Abstract Photoinduced initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization (PICAR ATRP) using sodium pyruvate and blue light ( λ max = 456 nm) is reported. Water‐soluble oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate (OEOMA 500 ) was polymerized under biologically relevant conditions. Polymerizations were conducted with 1000 ppm (with respect to the monomer) co...

An N-halamine precursor 2-(3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate (SCMHBMA) was synthesized and grafted on cotton fabrics via atom transfer radical polymerization for antibacterial function after chlorination. The preparation chlorinated (Cotton-g-PSMA-Cl) were characterized with FTIR, XPS, SEM, TGA. properties of prepared Cotton-g-PSMA-Cl, including thermal prope...
