Description

Technical Field

[0002] Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can cause serious infections in some tissues and organs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), a more difficult-to-kill Gram-negative bacterium, can cause a wide range of diseases, including respiratory, blood, lung, and skin infections. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) can cause hand-foot-and-mouth disease, which can be fatal in severe cases, and Candida albicans can cause oral and skin infections. In particular, an effective way to inhibit solid surface contamination is to make the surface possess microbial inactivation properties, enabling it to rapidly kill microorganisms during the time window between human contact with the surface, or to shorten the lifespan of microorganisms on solid surfaces, thereby reducing the risk of human infection. Therefore, this type of surface treatment method has broad prospects and application value in fields such as environment, medical equipment, construction, antibacterial fabrics, wound dressings and antibacterial coatings.

[0154] Test Example 1

[0155] In this example, the copper-based coating additives obtained in Examples 1-4 were characterized and analyzed for their microstructure. The scanning electron microscopy results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 SEM images of copper-based coating additives, pure CPT, and pure Cu2O obtained with different amounts of sodium pyridinethione are shown below. Among them: (a) is the SEM image of the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 1; (b) is the SEM image of the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 2; (c) is the SEM image of the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 3; (d) is the SEM image of the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 4; (e) is the SEM image of pure CPT particles; and (f) is the SEM image of pure Cu2O particles.

[0156] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that: 1) As Figure 3 As shown in (f), pure Cu₂O particles exhibit a regular spherical structure with a particle size of approximately 1 µm, are uniformly distributed, and show no agglomeration. Figure 3 As shown in (e), pure CPT particles exhibit a long, rod-like structure with a particle size of approximately 5 µm and a smooth surface. Figure 3 (a) Figure 3 (b) and Figure 3As shown in (c), both long, rod-shaped CPT particles and Cu2O particles exist in the copper-based coating additive. Specifically, the spherical structure of the Cu2O particles is no longer intact but disrupted, resulting in smaller, irregularly shaped fragments. Furthermore, some Cu2O fragments adhere to the surface of the CPT particles, making the CPT particle surface no longer smooth. These results demonstrate that nano-Cu2O particles can be successfully reacted with sodium pyridinethione to prepare CPT particles. 2) With the increase of sodium pyridinethione dosage, from Example 1 to Example 3, the number of Cu2O particles in the copper-based coating additive gradually decreases, the regular spherical structure of Cu2O gradually decreases, while the number of long, rod-shaped CPT particles gradually increases. Figure 3 (b) and Figure 3 As shown in (d), when the ratio of Cu2O to CPT particles is the same, there is no significant difference in the structure of the copper-based coating additives in Examples 2 and 4. This result proves that the structure and morphology of the copper-based coating additive can be controlled by adjusting the amount of sodium pyridinethione added, thereby controlling the ratio of Cu2O to CPT in the copper-based coating additive. 3) When the ratio of Cu2O to CPT is 1:1, there is relatively more cuprous oxide in the composite material, and its spherical structure is relatively more complete, with only some cuprous oxide structure being damaged; while the rod-shaped copper pyridinethione is less. In addition, based on Example 1, when the ratio of Cu2O to CPT is adjusted to 1:1.8, as shown in Example 4, the structure of the copper-based coating additive is significantly different. Figure 4 As shown, the composite material contains relatively less cuprous oxide, and its spherical structure is almost undetectable. The cuprous oxide structure is essentially destroyed, becoming smaller fragments attached to the surface of copper pyrithione, while rod-shaped copper pyrithione particles are relatively more abundant. This is because the increased amount of sodium pyrithione leads to a greater amount of cuprous oxide reacting. Furthermore, from... Figure 3 (b) Comparison revealed that its morphology was basically similar to that of Cu₂O and CPT in a 1:2 ratio, but the content differed. When the Cu₂O and CPT ratio was 1:2.5, the cuprous oxide in the composite material was relatively less, its spherical structure was almost impossible to detect, and the structure of cuprous oxide was basically destroyed, becoming smaller fragments attached to the surface of copper pyrithione, while rod-shaped copper pyrithione was relatively more abundant and its structure was more obvious. When sodium pyrithione was in excess, the cuprous oxide was almost completely consumed, resulting in sodium pyrithione with a regular morphology and high purity.

[0157] In summary, the microstructure of the composite material provided by this invention falls between cuprous oxide and copper pyrithione as the amount of sodium pyrithione increases. With the increase of sodium pyrithione, cuprous oxide is gradually consumed and distributed on the surface of copper pyrithione as smaller fragment particles, while when sodium pyrithione is in excess, copper pyrithione is completely formed. Overall, when the amount of sodium pyrithione added is controlled to be higher than 0.1 mol / L and lower than 0.4 mol / L, the microstructure of the composite material tends to show the presence of complete spherical cuprous oxide, with a morphology between cuprous oxide and copper pyrithione. When the amount of sodium pyrithione added is controlled to be higher than 0.4 mol / L and lower than 0.82 mol / L, the microstructure of the composite material tends to show the presence of a large number of cuprous oxide fragments distributed on the surface of pyrithione. When the amount of sodium pyrithione added is controlled to be higher than 0.82 mol / L, its micromorphology is close to or equivalent to the structure of pure copper pyrithione.

[0158] Test Example 2

[0159] This example analyzes the EDS and mapping results of the copper-based coating additive prepared in Example 4, such as... Figure 5 As shown, where: Figure 5 (a) Figure 5 (c) Figure 5 (b) Figure 5 (d) Figure 5 (e) Figure 5 (f) Figure 5 (g) Figure 5 (h) shows the mapping results for the DE / Cu2O / CPT composite particles. Figure 5 (b) represents the percentage content of each atom.

[0160] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that, taking the copper-based coating additive prepared in Example 4 as an example, the elemental composition of the copper-based coating additive was analyzed by EDS. The chemical formula of CPT is known to be Cu(C5H4NOS)2. Based on the molecular formula of CPT, the theoretical percentage content of S atoms and Cu atoms in CPT should be the same, but... Figure 3The compositional analysis results in (b) show that in the selected region, the content of S atoms is approximately 7.18%, while the content of Cu atoms is approximately 16.37%, which is more than half higher, further proving the presence of both Cu2O particles and CPT particles in the copper-based coating additive. Furthermore, as shown in Figures (a) and (d), the purple area represents the presence of Si atoms, originating from diatomaceous earth (whose main component is SiO2). As shown in Figures (c), (g), (h), and (e), Cu, S, N, and O atoms were detected, all distributed on elongated rods. The O atoms may originate from DE and Cu2O, the Cu atoms from CPT and Cu2O, while the S and N atoms can only originate from CPT. These results further demonstrate the successful preparation of the DE / Cu2O / CPT composite particles and reveal their morphology and distribution.

[0161] Test Example 3

[0162] XRD results of copper-based coating additives prepared under different examples were analyzed with varying amounts of the organic ligand sodium pyridinethione. The XRD results for Examples 1, 2, and 3, as well as pure CPT and pure Cu2O, are shown below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0163] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the XRD diffraction peak positions of the three different ratios of diatomaceous earth / Cu2O / CPT composite particles are completely consistent, and characteristic diffraction peaks of CPT and Cu2O appear. Furthermore, from Example 1 to Example 3, as the ratio of Cu2O to CPT in the diatomaceous earth / Cu2O / CPT composite particles gradually decreases, the intensity of some XRD diffraction peaks of the CPT particles gradually increases. When Cu2O:CPT=1:1, the diffraction peak at 2θ=9° is almost undetectable. Conversely, the diffraction peak intensities of Cu2O at the 36.50°-(111) crystal plane, 42.40°-(200) crystal plane, and 61.52°-(220) crystal plane gradually decrease. These results indicate that the successful preparation of the diatomaceous earth / Cu2O / CPT composite particles and the compositional changes with different ratios are consistent with the SEM results. This result further demonstrates that the structure and morphology of copper-based coating additives can be controlled by adjusting the amount of sodium pyridinethione, thereby controlling the ratio of Cu2O to CPT.

[0164] Test Example 4

[0165] This example examines the macroscopic color changes of copper-based coating additives prepared in different embodiments as the amount of the organic ligand—sodium pyrithione—decies. Overall, the color change trend basically matches the structural changes. With the increase of sodium pyrithione, the color of the composite material falls between cuprous oxide and copper pyrithione. The color changes of the copper-based coating additives, pure CPT, and pure Cu2O prepared in different embodiments are shown below. Figure 7 As shown, two other ratios with large color differences are, for example... Figure 8 As shown.

[0166] Furthermore, this invention has discovered through research that: 1) when the amount of sodium pyridinethione added is controlled to be higher than 0.1 mol / L and lower than 0.4 mol / L, the color of the composite material is as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10 The color of the composite material varies between these values. 2) Controlling the addition of sodium pyrithione to be above 0.4 mol / L and below 0.82 mol / L will result in a color range similar to... Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 The changes between them.

[0167] Test Example 5

[0168] This example examines the antibacterial properties of the DE / Cu2O / CPT composite material prepared in Example 2. The antibacterial effects of monovalent cuprous oxide, divalent copper pyridinethione, and copper pyridinethione prepared by conventional methods, as well as physically mixed formulations, are compared using the inhibition zone method. The size of the inhibition zone demonstrates the superior antibacterial properties of the composite material. The test results are as follows: Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15In the figures: 1 shows the antibacterial results of pure cuprous oxide; 2 shows the antibacterial results of pure pyridine copper sulfate; 3 shows the antibacterial results of pyridine copper sulfate prepared by conventional methods; 4 shows the antibacterial results of a mixture obtained by physically mixing pure cuprous oxide and pure pyridine copper sulfate; 5 shows the antibacterial results of the DE / Cu2O / CPT composite material prepared in Example 2; and 6 shows the antibacterial results of PBS. The preparation of pyridine copper sulfate by conventional methods includes the following steps: a certain amount of soluble copper salt, such as copper chloride or copper sulfate, is directly dissolved in deionized water containing a surfactant. Then, sodium pyridinethione is dissolved in deionized water, and sodium hydroxide is added to adjust the pH to 10-12. Finally, the sodium pyridinethione aqueous solution is added to the aqueous solution containing copper salt, the temperature is raised to 75°C, and the reaction is carried out for 1-2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is filtered, washed, and dried at 60°C. The difference between the conventional method and the method provided in this invention is that the conventional method involves sodium pyridinethione directly coordinating with divalent copper ions. This method does not involve changes in valence state; adjusting the amount of sodium pyrithione only controls the content of copper pyrithione produced, without the presence of cuprous oxide, making it a single material. This method involves coordination between pyrithione salt and cuprous oxide, which involves changes in valence state (because copper in copper pyrithione is divalent). Adjusting the amount of pyrithione salt added can yield composite materials with different proportions of cuprous oxide and copper pyrithione.

[0169] Depend on Figure 15 It can be concluded that: 1) The comparison between 2, 3, and 6 shows that the copper pyridinethione prepared using cuprous oxide compounds has a relatively higher antibacterial effect than conventional copper pyridinethione; 2) The comparison between 1, 2, 5, and 6 effectively demonstrates the superior antibacterial properties of copper-based coating additives, namely the synergistic enhancing effect of monovalent and divalent copper; 3) The comparison between 4, 5, and 6 illustrates that copper-based coating additives differ from simple physical mixtures of cuprous oxide and copper pyridinethione. Their structural characteristics, through smaller nanoparticle structures, further enhance the antibacterial effect of copper-based coating additives.

[0170] Test Example 6

[0171] In this example, the coatings obtained in Examples 5 to 20 were prepared into dried coatings. The broad-spectrum antibacterial properties of the coatings were evaluated using a simulated drying method. In addition, the inactivation effect against enterovirus 71 was also tested. The operation process is illustrated in the diagram below. Figure 16As shown. Specifically, the process includes the following steps: 1) Pretreatment of the glass slide: Cut the glass slide into 2 cm × 2 cm × 1 mm pieces, soak in anhydrous ethanol for 1 h, then irradiate under ultraviolet light for 1 h, and allow it to air dry naturally for later use; 2) Preparation of the coating: Apply an appropriate amount of coating (specifically 0.15 g) to the glass slide (2 cm × 2 cm × 1 mm), coat evenly, and air dry naturally in a sterile laminar flow hood for 12 h, then place it in a CO2 incubator for later use; the control group is the coating without copper-based additives, treated in the same way as above. 3) Antibacterial treatment of the coating: Taking the copper-based additive prepared in Example 1 with an addition amount of 1% as an example (i.e., the coating obtained in Example 5), its simplified schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 17 As shown. 30 µL of bacterial suspension was coated onto the prepared coating and placed in a sterilized biochemical incubator, maintaining a humidity of 43% and a temperature of 23 °C. After 2 h, 300 µL of sterile PBS was transferred to the coating for neutralization and soaking for 30 min. Then, 100 µL of the neutralization solution was spread onto a plate, inverted, and incubated in a CO2 incubator for 24 h. Three parallel samples were prepared. Finally, the bacterial growth on the plates was recorded; specifically, the bacterial strains used included *Escherichia coli*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, and *Candida albicans*. The corresponding antibacterial experiments of the coating were performed following the same procedure as described above. Similarly, Examples 6 to 20 were performed using the same experiments as in Example 5.

[0172] Analysis of the broad-spectrum antibacterial results of the coating:

[0173] like Figures 18-33 As shown, the coatings prepared in Examples 5-20, after being exposed to the tested bacterial strains for 2 hours, exhibited antibacterial effects against *Escherichia coli*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, and *Candida albicans*. This indicates that the coatings prepared according to the present invention have good bactericidal effects against these four pathogenic microorganisms. When the amount of copper-based coating additive is higher than 0.75%, they also show good inhibitory effects against all four microorganisms. Therefore, the coatings prepared with the coating provided by the present invention (addition amount ≈ 1%), after being exposed to the test strains for 2 hours, achieve an inactivation rate of up to 99% against pathogenic microorganisms such as *Escherichia coli*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, or *Candida albicans*. This meets or exceeds Level I of the national standard GB / T 21866-2008 "Determination of Antibacterial Properties and Antibacterial Effects of Antibacterial Coatings (Films)" and the group standard T / GDTL 011-2020 "Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings". The broad-spectrum antibacterial effect of the coatings prepared using the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 1 at different addition amounts is as follows: Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown; the broad-spectrum antibacterial effect of coatings prepared using the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 2 at different addition amounts is as follows: Figure 22 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown; the broad-spectrum antibacterial effect of coatings prepared using the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 3 at different addition amounts is as follows: Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown; the broad-spectrum antibacterial effect of coatings prepared using the copper-based coating additive obtained in Example 4 at different addition amounts is as follows: Figure 29 , Figure 30 , Figure 31 and Figure 32 As shown.

[0174] Test Example 7

[0175] This example examines the antiviral evaluation results of the coatings obtained in Examples 5-8. The Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbiology Analysis and Testing was commissioned to conduct the tests, using Enterovirus 71 as the experimental virus and T / GDTL 011-2020 as the detection basis and method. The inactivation rate of the virus was calculated according to the following formulas (1) and (2):

[0176] Formula (1): Virus inactivation rate % = [1-10] -log(平均灭活病毒减少值) ]×100;

[0177] Formula (2): log (average reduction in inactivated virus value) = log 10 (The average viral titer of the control sample without antiviral treatment) - log 10 (The average viral titer of the test sample after antiviral treatment);

[0178] The test results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 34 As shown, the coatings obtained in Examples 5-8 all have good antiviral properties. After 2 hours of contact with the test virus, when the amount of the material added is 1%, the inactivation rates of the EV71 virus are 93%, 93%, 94% and 92%, respectively.
