Material scientists from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in the US, together with colleagues from Boston University and Kraton Corporation, have developed a novel self-sterilizing polymer that efficiently inactivates microorganisms, including SARS-CoV-2.
Knowing the physical and chemical properties of polymeric materials is essential for developing efficient material processing methods for the manufacturing and recycling of plastic products. This information is vital when predicting material performance during a product's lifetime or troubleshooting when a material does not perform as expected.
