These compounds are simply defined as “oxidative halogen stabilizers,” and they possess long-lasting and rechargeable antimicrobial activities. They are suitable to use as biocidal coatings for soft and hard surfaces. Various N-halamine-based coatings are reported in the literature in the last two decades. In this regard, this chapter discusses structure and bioactivity relationship of N-halamine compounds, applications areas of N-halamine-based coatings, the strategies for surface functionalization with N-halamine compounds, and the future trends in N-halamine technology.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntimicrobialBiocidalCoatingsN-halaminePolymerTextileBook Chapter10.1016/B978-0-12-811982-2.00018-4391409WOS:000424467600018N/AN/A
