Abstract:

To solve the problem that poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) medical consumables are easily infected by bacteria during the use, a new type of antibacterial agent, C8?6?8 gimini quaternary ammonium salt (GQAS), was synthesized. This new quaternary ammonium salt was then used as an additive to blend with PVC physically. The resultant blends were compressed to pellets as a type of modified PVC materials with good antibacterial properties. The structure and thermal stability of GQAS and the antibacterial properties, dissolution capacity and mechanical properties of modified PVC materials were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, colony counter, and electronic universal material testing machine. The results indicated that GQAS did not decompose with heating when blended with PVC. The modified PVC material containing 5 wt% GQAS can effectively inhibit the growth of E.coli and S.aureus. After soaked for 7 days, the modified PVC materials containing 5 wt% GQAS still had a good antibacterial capability. The modified PVC materials showed a decrease in tensile strength(22.3 or 18.9 MPa) and elongation at break(318.8 % or 295.3 %) comparing with pure PVC(24.6 MPa,341.5 %), which was still in an acceptable range.
