Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antibacterial materials, and in particular relates to N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymers and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bacterial microorganisms bring many troubles to human life in terms of drinking water pollution, food spoilage, and infection of medical supplies. Traditional antibacterial agents such as chlorine and ozone are often used in water treatment, but chlorine itself is harmful to the human body, which restricts its application; although ozone has low toxicity, it is unstable in water and its antibacterial effect is greatly reduced. In addition, nanosilver / silver ions are often added to textiles as antibacterial agents, but the high cost has a great impact on their application. Ultraviolet rays are also a widely used antibacterial method, but the application of ultraviolet rays is limited in light-proof places such as pipes and tanks. In summary, it is urgent to develop a new type of antibacterial agent that is non-toxic, highly efficient, and has a wide range of applications.

[0003] N-halamines are a class of promising antimicrobial agents. After amines, amides or imides are oxidized by hypohalites, the hydrogen attached to nitrogen is replaced by an oxidizing halogen (Cl + ,Br + , I + ) to form N-halamine. N-halamine has the same bactericidal effect as the equivalent inorganic hypohalite, and is more stable, durable, less toxic, less harmful to the human body and the environment, and can be recycled. This antibacterial agent has a significant killing effect on representative microorganisms that cause various infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria), Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (resistant Gram-positive bacteria), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (resistant Gram-positive bacteria) and Candida albicans (fungus).

[0004] Common N-haloamine polymers include those obtained by polymerizing olefinic compounds containing hydantoin structures as monomers. The hydantoin ring contains both an amide group and an imide group, so the oxidized halide ion obtained by halogenation has both stability and reactivity. CN116791231 A introduces 3-allyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin into polyester fibers to give them antibacterial properties. In addition, other compounds containing amines, amides, and imides can also be introduced into polymers as N-halamine antibacterial polymers, such as J. Ind. Eng. Chem. 2022, 107: 249-258, curing methacrylamide / acrylic acid copolymer with epoxy resin, and introducing PET fabric to modify it for antibacterial effect; J. Ind. Text. 2015, 46 (1): 59-74, electrostatic assembly and then coating chitosan multilayer film on polyglycolide surgical suture, the amino group in chitosan has antibacterial effect after halogenation; Cellulose. 2011, 19 (1): 209-217, cross-linking amino / amide / imide compounds such as urea, barbituric acid and carbamic acid with straw cellulose to obtain antibacterial cellulose. However, when synthesizing these antibacterial polymers, the process of introducing amine-containing antibacterial units requires a relatively complex polymerization reaction or polymer chemical reaction, which brings great limitations to their application and subsequent industrial production.

[0005] The common methods for preparing polymer microspheres include emulsion polymerization, seed swelling polymerization, suspension polymerization, dispersion polymerization and precipitation polymerization. Different polymerization methods can prepare microspheres with different particle sizes and particle size distributions. The common disadvantage of these polymerization methods is that stabilizers must be added, which will have a certain impact on the physical and chemical properties of the surface of polymer microspheres. At the same time, the presence of stabilizers will also cause certain harm to the human body.

[0006] CN112574336 A discloses a method for preparing a maleimide copolymer, but the synthesized microspherical maleimide copolymer lacks antibacterial functional units and does not have antibacterial efficacy, and the non-crosslinked microspherical maleimide copolymer cannot exist stably in an aqueous solution for a long time. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a maleimide copolymer N-halamine antibacterial microsphere and its preparation method and application. The maleimide copolymer cross-linked microsphere of the present invention can contain maleamic acid groups and maleimide groups at the same time, and after being halogenated with hypohalite, the amide group / imide group can be modified into an N-halamine group with antibacterial effect. The polymer microsphere has a high efficiency in killing some representative bacteria.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] One of the technical solutions of the present invention:

[0010] The present invention provides a method for preparing N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymer, comprising the following steps:

[0011] Adding a comonomer, maleic anhydride, an initiator and a crosslinking agent into an organic solvent, allowing the comonomer and the maleic anhydride to undergo a self-stabilizing precipitation polymerization reaction to precipitate maleic anhydride copolymer crosslinked microspheres;

[0012] The maleic anhydride copolymer cross-linked microspheres are subjected to a gas-solid amination reaction in an ammonia atmosphere to obtain maleamic acid copolymer cross-linked microspheres, wherein the amination rate of the maleamic acid copolymer cross-linked microspheres is above 99%, and the amination rate can be increased by increasing the time of the gas-solid amination reaction;

[0013] Heating the maleamic acid copolymer cross-linked microspheres to cause an imidization reaction to occur, thereby obtaining maleimide copolymer cross-linked microspheres, wherein the imidization rate of the maleimide copolymer cross-linked microspheres is any value between 20% and 100%;

[0014] The maleimide copolymer microspheres are dispersed in a hypohalite aqueous solution for halogenation to obtain N-haloamine antibacterial microspheres of the maleimide copolymer.

[0015] The present invention first adds a comonomer, maleic anhydride, an initiator and a crosslinking agent into an organic solvent, so that the comonomer and maleic anhydride undergo a self-stabilizing precipitation polymerization reaction to precipitate maleic anhydride copolymer crosslinked microspheres; then the maleic anhydride copolymer crosslinked microspheres are placed in an ammonia atmosphere for gas-solid amination reaction to obtain maleamic acid copolymer crosslinked microspheres; then the maleamic acid copolymer crosslinked microspheres are placed in a confined space, and an imidization reaction is carried out under heating conditions to obtain maleimide copolymer crosslinked microspheres (i.e. maleamic acid / maleimide copolymer microspheres); finally, the maleimide copolymer crosslinked microspheres are dispersed in a hypohalite aqueous solution for halogenation to obtain N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymers. The present invention can prepare N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymers with good antibacterial effects without adding a surfactant, and the microspheres have a crosslinked structure and good stability in an aqueous solution. Polymer microspheres have the advantages of large specific surface area, strong adsorption, strong surface reaction ability, etc. The present invention introduces antibacterial functional groups into polymer microspheres to obtain highly effective antibacterial microspheres. The present invention adopts a self-stabilizing precipitation polymerization polymerization method, and can synthesize polymer microspheres without adding additional stabilizers. The process is simple and green. The subsequent process of introducing amine-containing antibacterial units into polymer microspheres is also simple and easy to operate, does not involve complex polymer chemical reactions, and is suitable for large-scale synthesis.

[0016] The comonomer is selected from at least one of the following monomers: (meth) acrylic monomers, styrene monomers, vinyl monomers, olefin monomers, composite monomers derived from petroleum fractionation, and composite monomers derived from coal chemical industry. Exemplarily, the comonomer is selected from at least one of the following monomers: styrene, α-methylstyrene, vinyl acetate, 1,1-diphenylethylene, isobutylene, gasoline, C4 mixture, C5 mixture, C8 mixture, C9 mixture, coumarone, and coal tar light fraction.

[0018] The molar ratio of the comonomer to maleic anhydride is 1:10-10:1 (i.e. 1 / 10 to 10 / 1); and / or

[0019] The amount of the organic solvent is 20-900% of the total mass of the comonomer and maleic anhydride; and / or

[0020] The amount of the initiator is 0.2-10% of the total mass of the comonomer and maleic anhydride; and / or

[0021] The amount of the cross-linking agent used is 0.1-5% of the total molar amount of maleic anhydride.

[0022] The average particle size of the maleic anhydride copolymer cross-linked microspheres is 200 nm-6 μm, preferably 400 nm-4 μm, and the particle size dispersion coefficient is preferably 1.03-1.5.

[0023] The heating temperature is 160° C.-180° C., and the reaction time is 2 h-12 h. The higher the reaction temperature and the longer the reaction time, the higher the imidization degree.

[0024] When the maleamic acid-based copolymer crosslinked microspheres are heated, the maleamic acid-based copolymer crosslinked microspheres are heated in a state of being dispersed in a dispersion medium or in a state of being a dry solid.

[0025] The concentration of the hypohalite aqueous solution is 0.5wt.%-10wt.%, preferably 3wt.%-5wt.%, the pH value is 7-8, and the reaction time of the halogen amination reaction is 10min-6h, preferably 30min-2h.

[0026] The hypohalite is selected from at least one of the following salts: NaClO, KClO, Ca(ClO)2, NaBrO, KBrO, Ca(BrO)2, NaIO, KIO and Ca(IO)2.

[0027] The second technical solution of the present invention:

[0029] The third technical solution of the present invention:

[0030] The present invention also provides the use of the N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of the maleimide copolymer in the preparation of antibacterial drugs.

[0031] The N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of the maleimide copolymer of the present invention can effectively kill Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli).

[0032] The fourth technical solution of the present invention:

[0033] The present invention also provides an antibacterial material, the active component of which is the N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of the maleimide copolymer.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0035] The invention provides a method for preparing N-halamine cross-linked antibacterial microspheres of a maleimide copolymer. The obtained polymer microspheres can contain maleamic acid groups and maleimide groups at the same time. After being halogenated with hypohalite, the amide group / imide group can be modified into an N-halamine group with antibacterial effect. The polymer microspheres have a highly effective killing effect on some representative bacteria.

[0036] The maleic anhydride copolymer microspheres of the present invention are synthesized by a self-stabilizing precipitation polymerization method. This process is simple and efficient, the solvent is green and recyclable, the product is easy to separate, and no stabilizer needs to be added, which can greatly reduce the production cost and ensure that the product is harmless to the human body. The obtained maleic anhydride copolymer cross-linked microspheres can be subjected to gas-solid amination reaction under an ammonia atmosphere, and the reaction time is more than 12 hours, so that the amination rate is more than 99%. The temperature of the imidization reaction is usually 160°C-180°C, and the reaction time is usually 2h-12h. The higher the reaction temperature and the longer the reaction time, the higher the degree of imidization. Since the copolymer microspheres are cross-linked structures, the degree of imidization will not affect their water solubility and morphological changes in water. There is no additional solvent in the amidation and imidization process, which simplifies the process flow and reduces the environmental burden. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The test was divided into three groups, namely the blank control group, the styrene-maleimide copolymer cross-linked microsphere group without N-halamination, and the styrene-maleimide N-halamine cross-linked microsphere group after N-halamination. The specific test method is as follows: weigh 45 mg of sample respectively, add 450 μL of sterile PBS solution to the sample (no sample is added to the blank control group), ultrasonically disperse for 30 minutes, and then add 50 μL of the prepared bacterial solution to the sample dispersion, and place it in a 37°C constant temperature oscillator for 10 minutes of shaking and co-cultivation. After the culture is completed, add an excess of Na2S2O3 solution to the culture solution to quench the remaining Cl +. Use sterile PBS solution to dilute the mixture 10 times continuously, take 100 μL of the dilution and evenly spread it on LB solid culture medium, place it in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator for 18 hours, take it out, take pictures and record the number of colonies.

[0117] Comparative Example 1

[0118] 13g styrene and 12.25g maleic anhydride were dissolved in 227g isoamyl acetate, and 0.2525g dibenzoyl peroxide was added to react at 70°C for 3h. After the reaction, the product was centrifuged at a speed of 10000r / min for 5 minutes, and isoamyl acetate and petroleum ether were added for washing and centrifugation three times, and vacuum dried to constant weight to obtain styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer microspheres, the average particle size of which was 800nm ​​and the molecular weight was 65000g / mol. The microspheres were added to a flask connected to a gas storage bag and an excess of ammonia was introduced. The reaction was carried out at room temperature, accompanied by stirring with a magnetic stirrer at 600-800rpm, and the reaction was carried out for 45min to obtain styrene-maleamic acid copolymer microspheres. The product was analyzed by acid-base titration, and the amination rate of the maleic anhydride group was 99%. The flask containing the styrene-maleamic acid copolymer microspheres was heated to 180°C and reacted for 1h to obtain maleimide copolymer microspheres. The imidization degree was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, and the imide conversion rate was 50%.

[0119] The morphology of the uncrosslinked copolymer microspheres with low imidization degree prepared in Comparative Example 1 in different dispersion media was tested. Figure 3 It was found that the maleimide copolymer microspheres were water-soluble when the imidization degree was low and they were not cross-linked, so they could not be dispersed well in water. After adding them to a NaClO aqueous solution (concentration of 3wt.%, pH=8), they lost their microsphere morphology. This is because the microspheres were not cross-linked and the imidization degree was low. After being dispersed in water for 5 minutes, they almost dissolved, and the spherical morphology was destroyed, making them unable to disperse.

[0120] The cross-linked microspheres prepared in Example 4 have a lower imidization conversion rate, which can be dispersed in water at a lower degree of imidization. Compared with the uncross-linked microspheres in Comparative Example 1, the uncross-linked microspheres cannot be dispersed in water when the degree of imidization is lower than 50%, which reflects the good stability of the cross-linked microspheres of the present invention in aqueous solution.

[0121] From the above content, it can be seen that the present invention provides a kind of N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymer, which adopts the polymerization method of self-stabilizing precipitation polymerization to synthesize polymer cross-linked microspheres without adding additional stabilizers, and the process is simple and green. The subsequent process of introducing amine-containing antibacterial units into the polymer cross-linked microspheres is also simple and easy to operate, does not involve complex polymer chemical reactions, and is suitable for large-scale synthesis. The N-halamine antibacterial microspheres of maleimide copolymer have a cross-linked structure and can maintain good stability in aqueous solution.

[0122] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
