Abstract

The present invention includes compositions, articles, methods controlling microbial contamination of a surface by functionalizing a surface of an object and binding one or more acyclic-amine structures to the surface. The one or more acyclic-amine structures are halogenated to form one or more acyclic N-halamine structures. The one or more acyclic N-halamine structures modulate the formation of a biofilm.
