Oleophilic antimicrobial composition

摘要

The present invention relates to an oleophilic antimicrobial composition comprising silica nanotubes containing silver nanoparticles. The composition is added to an oil-based composition, such as an oil-based paint, a ceramic composition or a fiber coating compositions, immediately before the use of the oil-based composition, such that the contact time of the silver nanoparticles with the organic solvent contained in the oil-based composition is shortened to inhibit the oxidation of the silver nanoparticles. In addition, the composition has improved antimicrobial effects due to the excellent dispersibility of the silver nanoparticles, because the silver nanoparticles do not agglomerate in any solvent due to the silica nanotube structures, unlike spherical silica structures.

1. An oleophilic antimicrobial composition comprising:
silica nanotubes containing silver nanoparticles dispersed in an organic solvent; and a wetting and dispersing agent, wherein the silica nanotubes have fine pores formed therein, each of the fine pores having a size of 30-50 nm and each of the silica nanotubes having a total length of 1-30 μm, wherein the content of the silver nanoparticles in the silica nanotubes is 20000-100000 ppm, wherein the silica nanotubes are contained in an amount of 45-55 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (hereinafter, referred to as ‘PMA’), butyl cabitol, butyl acetate and ethyl acetate, wherein the wetting and dispersing agent is provided in an amount of 20-30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent, and wherein the wetting and dispersing agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of alkylammonium salt copolymer compounds, polyester and polyether-based compounds, copolymers containing a phosphoric acid group, and copolymers having a polar or non-polar amine group.
