The present invention relates to a resin binder composition, a filter medium comprising the resin binder composition as well as related methods and uses.

A polymer having an acid number greater than 100. The polymer has a valent metal ion which is bonded to at least one reactive group. The characteristics of the polymer include, conductivities of 4 S/cm to 200 S/cm or more, depending upon the concentration and nature of the metal bound. The conductivity proportional to the amount of metal bound, the ability of the Polymer to bind metals having a +1, +2, +3, +4, or +5 valence charge to the polymer, and the ability to bind two or more different metals to separate binding sites on the polymer. The polymer is used to make a catalytic means.

An itaconate molecule can have the formula: wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from H, Ag, or Cu; wherein the ratio of Ag and/or Cu to itaconate is at least about 1:1; and wherein n ranges from 1 to 14. The itaconates are useful, for example, as antimicrobial agents.
