“…For silver nanoparticles is reported that to achieve biocide properties in polymer, silver ions must migrate to the polymer surface to get in contact with fungi and bacteria cells, for this, water must permeate the polymer chain to oxidize the silver nanoparticles (as shown in equation 4) 16,40,49,50 .…”

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of styrene-ethylene/ butylene-styrene based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) incorporated with zinc pyrithione (ZnPT) and silver nanoparticles (AgNano). Japan Industrial Standard was applied to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of incorporated TPE compounds against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Antifungal action was evaluated against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Cladosporium cladosporioides. Samples prepared with ZnPT eliminated 99.9% of the E. coli and 99.7 % of the S. aureus population, and presented an inhibition zone in the fungal assay. Samples prepared with AgNano eliminated 99.7% of the E. coli and 95.5 % of the S. aureus population. There was no inhibition zone in samples containing AgNano; however, these samples did not present fungal growth on their surfaces. TPE samples containing ZnPT showed biocidal activity against the microorganisms tested and can be used to develop antimicrobial products.

Largely improved electromechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane dielectric elastomer by carbon nanospheres

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Carbon nanospheres (CNS) were used as a new conductive filler to improve the electromechanical properties of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) dielectric elastomer (DE). The results showed that CNS with many hydroxyl groups can form hydrogen bonds with TPU molecules, leading to a good dispersion of CNS in the TPU matrix and an improved tensile strength of CNS/TPU composites. More interestingly, CNS disrupted the crystallization of TPU, resulting in the decrease in elastic modulus and hysteresis loss of the composites. The dielectric constant at 1000 Hz increased from 7.1 for pure TPU to 137.3 for the composite with 5 wt% of CNS. The great increase in dielectric constant and the decrease in elastic modulus result in the largely improved actuation strain at low electric field of CNS/TPU composites. In addition, all the as-prepared CNS/TPU composites have a low dielectric loss (<1) at 1000 Hz. Our study provides a simple and effective way to obtain CNS/TPU DE with good mechanical strength and largely improved actuation performance at low electric field.
