Preparation of Antibacterial Packaging Materials

Anotace

Antibacterial materials can be prepared by several ways. Incorporation of antibacterial agents on the surface of modified synthetic polymer materials appears to be one of the best. Modification of polymer synthetic materials involves changing the chemical composition of top surface layer, while bulk properties, especially mechanical, remain unchanged and the product achieves adequate strength and flexibility. Such approach can be applied in food packaging field or in medical area, such as infection-prevention related to medical instruments, implants and equipment.
