ABSTRACT:
Facially amphiphilic polymers and articles made therefrom having biocidal surfaces are disclosed. The polymers can inhibit the growth of microorganisms in contact with the surface or in areas adjacent to said biocidal surface. There is also disclosed a method to identify and optimize the facial amphiphilicity of polyamide, polyester, polyurea, polyurethane, polycarbonate and polyphenylene polymers. Utility as a contact disinfectant is disclosed.
