In view of the increase in microbial resistance, future research on quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaners will focus on developing new quaternary ammonium salt structures to improve their antibacterial activity and reduce microbial resistance. This includes changing the hydrophobic group, hydrophilic group and counterion structure of quaternary ammonium salts to derive more new quaternary ammonium salts with high antibacterial properties.
The development of compound formulation technology will be another important research direction. Through the synergistic enhancement and complementary sterilization effects of different ingredients, the sterilization weaknesses of single quaternary ammonium salt ingredients can be overcome, while reducing costs and extending the sterilization cycle. This will help improve the sterilization effect of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaners in complex environments.
In order to improve the environmental friendliness of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaners, future research will focus on reducing their impact on aquatic organisms and other environments. This includes developing low-toxic and low-residue quaternary ammonium salt products, and exploring their degradation pathways and rates in the natural environment.
The application research of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaners in specific fields will also be strengthened. For example, in high-risk areas such as medical treatment and food processing, it is necessary to develop quaternary ammonium salt products with stronger antibacterial properties and higher safety standards to meet strict hygiene requirements.
With the continuous development of nanotechnology, combining nanomaterials with quaternary ammonium salts to develop new antibacterial materials is also a promising research direction. Such composite materials may have stronger antibacterial properties and a wider range of applications.
In addition, future research will also focus on the combined use of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaner with other disinfection or cleaning methods. Through optimized combination and synergy, its bactericidal effect and scope of use can be further improved.
With the development of microbial resistance, the future research direction of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaner will involve the development of new quaternary ammonium salt structures, the exploration of composite formulation technology, the improvement of environmental friendliness, application research in specific fields, the development of nanocomposites, and the combined use with other disinfection or cleaning methods. These studies will help promote the continuous progress and development of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial cleaner.
