of antimicrobial plastic materials and coatings
The manifestation of harmful microbes in plastic materials used
in medical devices and drugs, water purification systems, hospital
equipment, textiles, and food packaging pose alarming health
threats to consumers by exposing them to many serious infectious
diseases. As a result, high demand for intensifying efforts in the
R&D of antimicrobial polymers has placed heavy reliance on both
academia and industry to find viable solutions for producing safer
plastic materials. To assist researchers and students in this
endeavor, Antimicrobial Polymers explores coupling
contaminant-deterring biocides and plastics--focusing
particular attention on natural biocides and the nanofabrication of
biocides. Each chapter is devoted to addressing a key technology
employed to impart antimicrobial behavior to polymers, including
chemical modification of the polymers themselves. A host of
relevant topics, such as regulatory matters, human safety, and
environmental risks are covered to help lend depth to the book's
vital subject matter. In addition, Antimicrobial
Polymers:
* Discusses the design, processing, and testing of antimicrobial
plastic materials
* Covers interdisciplinary areas of chemistry and microbiology
* Includes applications in food packaging, medical devices,
nanotechnology, and coatings
* Details regulations from the U.S. (FDA and EPA) and EU as well
as human safety and environmental concerns
Achieving cleaner and more effective methods for improving the
infection-fighting properties of versatile and necessary plastic
materials is a goal that stretches across many scientific fields.
Antimicrobial Polymers combines all of this information into
one volume, exposing readers to preventive strategies that harbor
vast potential for making exposure to polymeric products and
surfaces a far less risky undertaking in the future.
