Key Points

  • The aim is to develop a pH-responsive surfactant that exhibits enhanced antimicrobial activity and recyclability.
  • Developed a trimeric fluorinated quaternary ammonium surfactant (triQA-1)
  • Evaluated minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against various bacteria
  • Assessed recyclability and antimicrobial performance
  • triQA-1 demonstrated a MIC of 0.18 μM, outperforming commercial quaternary ammonium surfactants
  • Effectiveness indicates potential for antimicrobial coatings and corrosion protection
  • Enhanced recyclability supports sustainability goals

Abstract

(MIC = 0.18 μM) compared to commercial quaternary ammonium. These properties render triQA-1 a promising sustainable alternative to persistent fluorinated surfactants for applications in antimicrobial coatings and corrosion protection.
