The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of a polymer composite based on an unsaturated ester loaded with 5 wt.% triclosan, produced by co-mixing on an automated hardware system. The polymer composite’s non-porous structure and chemical composition make it an ideal material for surface disinfection and antimicrobial protection. According to the findings, the polymer composite effectively inhibited (100%) the growth of Staphylococcus aureus 6538-P under exposure to physicochemical factors, including pH, UV, and sunlight, over a 2-month period. In addition, the polymer composite demonstrated potent antiviral activity against human influenza virus strain A and the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), with infectious activities of 99.99% and 90%, respectively. Thus, the resulting triclosan-loaded polymer composite is revealed to have a high potential as a surface-coating non-porous material with antimicrobial properties.
