Sterilizing agent is of high value in antifouling applications such as coatings
membranes
biomaterials and so on. With growing environmental concern
long-term and environmentally friendly sterilizing agents have been an important trend in sterilization and antifouling materials. Among which
polyaniline (PANI) is one of the promising agents because of its excellent biocompatibility and physicochemical properties. PANI has certain ability of sterilization by reason of its good redox activity
cation adsorption effect and electrochemical activity. Here the structures and preparation methods of PANI and its derivatives are reviewed. In addition
the research progress of polyaniline and its derivatives in sterilization and antifouling fields is discussed according to the sterilization mechanism. Contact-killing surface
biocidal-leaching surface and adhesion-resistance surface are introduced. Moreover
the problems of polyaniline in antifouling fields are discussed and the future development is also prospected.
