The present disclosure provides fibrous composition comprising a soluble or a dispersible N-halamine, for example 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-imidazolidinone (i.e., compound I). Additionally, the disclosure provides methods for producing the fibrous compositions comprising a soluble or a dispersible N-halamine as well as methods for protecting a person from an infection using the fibrous compositions comprising a soluble or a dispersible N-halamine. The compositions and methods according to the present disclosure provide several advantages, such as stability, less time to provide sufficient antimicrobial inactivation, and are inexpensive and require lower amount of active concentrations to be effective. La présente invention concerne une composition fibreuse comprenant une N-halamine soluble ou dispersible, par exemple une 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tétraméthyl-4-imidazolidinone (à savoir, le composé I). De plus, l'invention concerne des procédés permettant de produire ces compositions fibreuses comprenant une N-halamine soluble ou dispersible ainsi que des méthodes permettant de protéger une personne d'une infection en faisant appel auxdites compositions fibreuses comprenant une N-halamine soluble ou dispersible. Les compositions et les méthodes selon la présente invention apportent de nombreux avantages, tels qu'une stabilité, moins de temps pour obtenir une inactivation antimicrobienne suffisante, et sont peu coûteux et ne nécessitent que de faibles concentrations en composés actifs pour être efficaces.
