Abstract
The subject invention discloses curable polymeric N-halamine precursors which are useful for forming an antimicrobial surface coating on an object or article of manufacture. The present invention more specifically reveals a cross-linkable, water soluble polymer which is particularly useful for coating substrates and which can be activated to provide such substrates with antimicrobial and/or odor reducing characteristics, said cross-linkable polymer being comprised of amine, amide, or imide group containing repeat units and epoxide or methylol group containing repeat units, wherein the ratio of amine, amide or imide group containing repeat units to epoxide or methylol group containing repeat units is at least 2:1.
