Antibacterial plastics are plastics that inhibit or kill bacteria, molds, alcoholic algae, algae, and even viruses that are contaminated on plastics in the environment of use. They are kept clean by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
Plastic antibacterial agents added to plastics not only need to meet low cost requirements, but also have excellent compatibility and maintain high thermal stability during processing. In addition, the antimicrobial agent must also be able to migrate to the plastic surface to prevent microbial growth. Among them, organic antibacterial agents are widely used.
The research work on antibacterial plastics began in the 1980s and has developed rapidly in recent years. The antibacterial plastics in developed countries such as Japan, the United States and Western Europe have developed greatly. Especially in Japan, antibacterial plastics have a wide range of applications, including home appliances, food packaging, stationery, kitchen supplies, auto parts and wire and cable.
