Described herein are antimicrobial copolymers comprising (i) a polymer backbone and a plurality of thiouronium groups covalently bonded to the polymer backbone and (ii) a plurality of quaternary ammonium groups covalently bonded to the polymer backbone. Also described herein are methods for making the copolymers described herein and their use in disinfecting compositions.

The disinfectant-dosing microgel is formed from a mixture of a sol and a solution of a disinfecting and deodorizing agent. In use, the sol phase is transformed, by various conditions, into an active microgel. The disinfectant-dosing microgel is applied to the waste, such as by spraying, mixture therewith or the like. The combination of the sol and the solution of the disinfecting and deodorizing agent or, alternatively, the combination of the polymer and the solution of the disinfecting and deodorizing agent, is triggered to transform from the sol phase into the active microgel for long-term disinfection and deodorization of the waste by the temperature, pH, and/or salt concentration of the waste. The transformation to the active microgel for long-term disinfection and deodorization of the waste can also be initiated by adding chemical substances to alter the pH or promote gelation, either before, during or after application to the waste.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to nitrapyrin complexes and syntheses thereof finding particular utility in agricultural uses, e.g., directly applied to soil, or in combination with fertilizers to increase nutrient uptake and to inhibit nitrification and urease hydrolysis. More particularly, the subject matter is directed to nitrapyrin complexes, preferably containing specific types of carboxylic and sulfonate repeat units. Other uses of the nitrapyrin complexes and compositions containing nitrapyrin complexes are also disclosed.
