An antimicrobial and/or antiviral polymer is provided. The polymer is a modified polymer of a precursor polymer that comprises nitrogen atoms. The precursor polymer is modified into the antimicrobial and/or antiviral polymer of the present invention by substituting at least part of the nitrogen atoms with a (C.sub.1-C.sub.20) alkyl group and quaternizing at least part of the substituted nitrogen atoms. Such antimicrobial and/or antiviral polymers bind strongly and non-covalently to surfaces, rendering the surface antimicrobial and/or antiviral.

An environment-friendly impregnation solution includes in percentage by weight: 1-15% of blocked isocyanate, 0.5-10% of special amino resin, 10-50% of rubber latex, 1-5% of auxiliaries, and the balance of water, wherein the sum of the weight percentage of each component is 100%. A method for preparing the environment-friendly impregnation solution includes adding blocked isocyanate and auxiliary A into water and stirring uniformly to obtain Composition 1; adding auxiliary B into Composition 1 and stirring uniformly to obtain Composition 2; adding special amino resin into Composition 2 and stirring uniformly, then subjecting the same to grinding to obtain Composition 3; adding rubber latex into Composition 3 and stirring uniformly to obtain the environment-friendly impregnation solution, followed by packaging. The impregnation solution of the invention does not contain toxic and harmful substances such as formaldehyde and resorcinol, and the preparation method thereof is simple.

According to one embodiment, a system for manufacturing a fully impregnated thermoplastic prepreg includes a mechanism for moving a fabric or mat and a drying mechanism that removes residual moisture from at least one surface of the fabric or mat. The system also includes a resin application mechanism that applies a reactive resin to the fabric or mat and a press mechanism that presses the coated fabric or mat to ensure that the resin fully saturates the fabric or mat. The system further includes a curing oven through which the coated fabric or mat is moved to polymerize the resin and thereby form a thermoplastic polymer so that upon exiting the oven, the fabric or mat is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer. During at least a portion of the process, humidity in the vicinity of the coated fabric or mat is maintained at substantially zero.
