Abstract:

Quaternary ammonium surfactants are widely used in various fields typically as efficient fungicides, softeners, and antistatic agents. At present, those quaternary ammonium surfactants with single functions are insufficient to meet people’s needs. Therefore, the researchers have introduced organosilicon groups to quaternary ammonium salts. These surfactants combine the excellent properties of organosilicon compounds and the good antibacterial activity of quaternary ammonium salts. In this review, the application of silicone quaternary ammonium surfactants in antibacterial dyeing of textiles, daily chemicals, dental treatment, civil engineering anticorrosion, cultural relic protection and antibacterial coatings was reviewed. Finally, the development trends of silicone quaternary ammonium surfactants were prospected.

Key words: silicone quaternary ammonium salt, antibiosis, textile, daily chemistry, dental medicine
