Silane Compound Coating on Concrete materials and their antibacterial - antibiofilm properties

Concrete is a substrate material for society. Because it is a structural material, mechanical properties such as strength are fundamental. Cracks and collapses often lead to severe accidents. It is essential to repair them regularly. In addition, properties as a landscape material are also necessary. Mildew often grows and darkens, which is a problem. This study focused on a silane coating developed as a repair agent. This material penetrates cracks in concrete and reacts with moisture in the air to harden, effectively filling gaps and preventing concrete deterioration. In this study, we investigated the addition of antimicrobial components to this resin coating to develop antimicrobial properties and inhibit biofilm.
