The relationship between contact allergy to formaldehyde and positive patch test reactions to DMDM hydantoin was investigated. 35 formaldehyde-allergic patients were patch tested with serial dilutions of formaldehyde (0.1%-0.3%-1.0% aq.) and DM hydantoin (the non-formaldehyde-containing parent compound of DMDM hydantoin).

Polyurethanes (PUs) with soft blocks containing semifluorinated (-CH2OCH2CF3) and 5,5-dimethylhydantoin pendant groups were prepared and employed (2 wt%) as biocidal polymeric surface modifiers (PSMs) for a conventional PU coating comprised of an isophorone diisocyanate/1,4-butanediol-derived hard block (50%) and poly(tetramethylene oxide)

The inherent antimicrobial properties and biodegradability of chitosan make it an ideal candidate for antimicrobial materials. In this study, N-halamine precursor 3-glycidyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (GH) was synthesized and bonded onto chitosan by a ring opening reaction between chitosan and GH. The chitosan
