Abstract
In this investigation, dodecyl dimethyl (vinylbenzyl) ammonium chloride is synthesized through the reaction between 4-vinylbenzyl chloride and N,N-dimethyl-dodecylamine. This resultant compound is characterized by H-NMR, FTIR, TGA, and antibacterial assays. It is found that this chemical reaction is achievable. Moreover, it is also observed that this compound have good thermal ability, and its decomposition temperature is 207°C. The antibacterial tests prove that it have excellent antibacterial abilities against E.coli and S. aureus. Therefore, these results are demonstrated that it can be applied in bulk modification of polymers for better antibacterial and mechanical properties.
