The current research work presents an attempt to develop an antimicrobial agent from the bioresource cardanol which can be embedded in the polymer matrix to develop a UV curable coating. The brominated cardanol (BC) was synthesized from liquid bromine (Br₂) and cardanol followed by the reaction with triethylamine (TEA) to synthesize quaternary ammonium cardanol (AC). Further, the reaction with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) gives a UV curable antimicrobial agent (AA). This AA was incorporated in the epoxy acrylate UV curable system in various proportions along with the photoinitiator and coated onto a wooden substrate. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies and elemental analysis results revealed that the desired product has been formed. An antimicrobial test was performed with three types of microorganisms viz., bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The test results showed that the antimicrobial performance of the coatings was increased with the significant inhibition percentage values of 81.59% for gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), 77.12% for gram-negative bacteria (E. coli), and 73.82% for yeast (Candida albicans). Also, there was a decrease in the growth% value of the fungi (Aspergillus niger) as the concentration of AA in the system was increased. The mechanical properties of all the coatings were similar. There was a decrease in the T_g as well as in the degradation temperature of the coating films as the concentration of AA was increased, but the char yield got increased, as well. The sample with 20 wt% of AA showed the maximum amount of char yield (11.49%).

当前的研究工作提出了从生物资源腰果酚开发抗微生物剂的尝试，该抗微生物剂可以嵌入聚合物基质中以开发可紫外线固化的涂层。溴化腰果酚（BC）由液体溴（Br ₂）和腰果酚，然后与三乙胺（TEA）反应合成季铵腰果酚（AC）。此外，与甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯（GMA）的反应产生了可UV固化的抗微生物剂（AA）。该AA与光引发剂以各种比例掺入环氧丙烯酸酯的紫外线固化体系中，并涂覆在木质基材上。傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）和核磁共振谱（NMR）以及元素分析结果表明，已形成所需的产物。用三种类型的微生物进行了抗菌测试，即细菌，酵母和真菌。测试结果表明，涂​​层的抗菌性能得到了提高，对革兰氏阳性细菌的抑菌百分比值达到了81.59％（金黄色葡萄球菌），革兰氏阴性菌（大肠杆菌）占77.12％，酵母菌（白色念珠菌）占73.82％。另外，随着系统中AA浓度的增加，真菌（黑曲霉）的生长％值降低。所有涂层的机械性能均相似。随着AA浓度的增加，涂膜的T _g和降解温度均降低，但焦炭收率也有所提高。具有20 wt％的AA的样品显示出最大的焦炭收率（11.49％）。
