1. A method of controlling microbial contamination of a tubing surface comprising the steps of:
- functionalizing at least a portion of an inner surface of a tube;
binding one or more methacrylamides to the inner surface; and
halogenating the one or more methacrylamides to form one or more acyclic N-halamines, wherein the one or more acyclic N-halamines modulate the growth of a biofilm on the inner surface of the tube.

Abstract
The present invention includes compositions, articles, methods controlling microbial contamination of a surface by functionalizing a surface of an object and binding one or more acyclic-amine structures to the surface. The one or more acyclic-amine structures are halogenated to form one or more acyclic N-halamine structures. The one or more acyclic N-halamine structures modulate the formation of a biofilm.
