Polyurethane nanofibers functionalized by high amount of N-chloro hydantoin were prepared for the decontamination of chemical warfare agents. Azido-polyurethane was firstly synthesized using azidopolydiol with 4,40-methylenebis(phenylisocyanate) and 1,4-butanediol via step-addition polymerization. Hydantoin was introduced into the polyurethane via click reaction, followed by electrospinning and chlorination to obtain the decontaminable fibers. This N-chlorinated hydantoin-polyurethane fiber is an active decontaminable species for 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide and demeton-S-methyl, the simulant of chemical warfare agent. The decontamination efficiency of each exhibits 69% and 16% for 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide and demeton-S-methyl, respectively, with molar ratio of 1/1 for 2 h at ambient condition. This N-chlorinated hydantoin-polyurethane fiber exhibited considerable potential as the decontaminable material against toxic chemical warfare agents. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
