1. A method of achieving an antimicrobial, preservative and/or microorganism adhesion inhibiting effect for the protection within or on the surface of an article and/or material which method comprises applying an acid compound, acid compound mixture or acid composition comprising,an acid of the formula I, wherein R1=a linear or branched C1-C7-alky;

  • Q represents a linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl moiety substituted with 1-3 functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of COOH, P(O)(OH)2 and S(O)2(OH) which are attached via a C-atom to said moiety;

    m represents an integer from 1 to about 20;

    o represents an integer from 0 to 15; and

    the acid preferably has a polydispersity of up to about 3 and a weight-average molecular weight of 600 to about 3000;

    an acid of the general formula II, wherein R1=methyl Q represents a linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl moiety substituted with 1-3 functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of COOH, P(O)(OH)2 and S(O)2(OH) which are attached via a C-atom to said moiety; and

    n represents an integer from 0 to 15;

    and/or an acid of the formula III, wherein;

    R1=methyl Q represents a linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl moiety substituted with 1-3 functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of COOH, P(O)(OH)2 and S(O)2(OH) which are attached via a C-atom to said moiety;

    p represents an integer from 1 to about 20;

    q represents an integer from 1 to about 20;

    r represents an integer from 0 to 15; and

    the acid preferably has a polydispersity of up to about 3 and a weight-average molecular weight of 600 to about 3000;

    to an article and/or material in order to achieve an antimicrobial, preservative and/or microorganism adhesion inhibiting effect for the protection of said article and/or material;

    with the proviso that, if the acid compound, acid compound mixture or acid composition used is one comprising only one or more acids of the formula III wherein Q is selected solely from the group consisting of linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl moieties substituted with two functional COON groups attached via a C-atom to said moiety, the method either is limited to a method for achieving an antimicrobial and/or a preservative effect, or, the method is limited to coating or impregnation of materials comprising synthetic polymers or polymer precursors or monomeric compounds, or of articles made from such materials or to the bulk addition to a material or an article;

    or in addition to one or more acids of the formula III at least another acid compound comprising an acid of the formula I as defined above, an acid of the formula II as defined above; and

    /or at least one acid compound comprising an additional different acid of the formula III as mentioned above wherein at least one moiety Q is present which is a linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl moiety substituted with 1 to 3 COOH, P(O)(OH)2 and/or S(O)2(OH) groups, with the proviso that in the case of a compound of the formula III said moiety Q does not carry only 2 COOH groups, is applied in addition;

    and wherein an acid of the formula I, II and/or III the mentioned COOH, P(O)(OH)2 and S(O)2(OH) groups may also be partially or completely present in negatively charged form, so that the acids of the formula I, II and/or Ill may also be partially or completely be present as salts.
