The synthesized compound was confirmed by different analyses, gas chromatography, Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy. The prepared compound has been blended with a primer paint formulation, then their physical and mechanical properties have been studied. Density function theory is used to calculate Frontier molecular orbital including highest occupied molecular orbital and least unoccupied molecular orbital to indicate the charge transfer from molecule to biological media and molecular electrostatic potential map was used to indicate the chemically reactive zone suitable for drug action.\n \n \n Findings\n The results of the paint formulation confirmed their best performance and provided good mechanical properties and high chemical and corrosion resistance.\n \n \n Research limitations/implications\n Resin compounds are the most used antimicrobial additives. Other functionalities of these compounds, such as corrosion inhibitors, might be studied to see if they are suited for these applications.\n \n \n Practical implications\n Because of the efficiency of the SIE when incorporated with primer, paint against microbial has also been examined in silico using the docking study which contributed to the analysis of their protein binding. This type of epoxy compound is environmentally friendly and can be used as a biocide with different paint formulations. As a result, paint compositions including this compound as additives can be used as dual-purpose paint and for a variety of industrial applications.\n \n \n Originality/value\n This research demonstrates how a low-cost paint composition based on synthesized SIE compounds may be used as a dual-function paint for industrial use.\n ","url":"https://innscience.ca/es/community/literature/e45958a8-6544-4cee-8814-39bf72d7b078"}
