| Sumario: | [EN] New water-immiscible cationic biocide 1-dodecylpyridinium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (PyrC12-DBS) has been synthesized and tested as potential antifouling agent for commercial alkyd paint PP-115 (Ukraine). The modified PP-115/PyrC12-DBS coatings containing 8% and 16% (w/w) of PyrC12-DBS were prepared by dissolution directly of the cationic biocide into the PP-115 paint. Once the stainless steel bars were painted, the surface wettability of the coating was found to be significantly increased when modified with cationic biocide. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) studies indicate high homogeneity of the modified coatings. Infrared analysis revealed hydrogen bonding between ester groups of alkyd resin and pyridinium cations of PyrC12-DBS. The plasticizing effect of the cationic biocide on the alkyd binder has also been revealed by differential scanning calorimetry analysis. According to spectrophotometric analysis data, PyrC12-DBS has excellent resistance to leaching from protective coatings into water. Antibiofilm efficiency of PyrC12-DBS was evaluated by assessing the capability of two biofilm-forming model strains, namely Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01, to form attached biofilms on the surface coated with modified alkyd paint. A significant decrease in biofilm metabolic activity, as well as in cell biomass, was determined for PP-115/PyrC12-DBS (16%) coatings. The antifouling activity was evaluated by exposure to experimental substrates in freshwater (Dnipro River) for 143 days. The surface of PP-115/PyrC12-DBS (16%) coatings showed an almost 13-fold reduction of total biomass formed by Dreissenidae mussels compared with control substrates. Overall, the obtained data indicate that the contact-active protective coatings based on water-insoluble polymer matrix and water-insoluble cationic biocide may effectively resist biofouling at relatively high biocide content. |
