The manifestation of harmful microbes in plasticter
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 mat
