ANTIMICROBIAL THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions of thermoplastic compositions with antimicrobial properties. The resulting compositions, comprising one or more thermoplastic polymers, a zinc additive component, and an acid stabilizer component, can be used in the manufacture of articles requiring antimicrobial protection while still retaining the advantageous physical properties of thermoplastic compositions. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
