From a product-type viewpoint, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and poly(urethane)-foam-based applications have used biocides for decades.[8,9] PVC is especially vulnerable to attack from fungi and bacteria due to extensive plasticizer usage in flexible applications.[ 10] Poly(urethane) foams are another notable consumer of biocides because of their porous nature, which pro- vides an ideal environment for microbes to grow.[11,12] Therefore, it is not surprising that many applications based on these two materials have significant usage of biocides; commonly, oxybisphenoxarsine or lower toxic- ity alternatives such as zinc pyrithione (ZPT) antimicro- bials are employed.[10] Specific example applications include kitchen and bath accessories, swimming pool liners, carpet backing, sleep solutions like mattresses and pillows, roofing membranes, and tiles. To reduce the incidence of device-associated infections, antimicrobial technologies have been utilized in a variety of ways ranging from bulk-imbedded additives to sur- face grafting techniques.[13,14] In particular, silver-based additive technologies are frequently explored for healthcare applications due to their favorable toxicological profiles and broader regulatory approvals, while silver nanoparticles with controlled, long-term release profiles continue to be a very active and promising area of biomedi- cal research.[15-19] In textile segments such as sports active- wear, biocides are used to prevent the growth of odor- causing bacteria from perspiration.[20,21] Additionally, high-end recreational products such as boats utilize bio- cides to preserve the aesthetics of PVC products used for seat covers since bacterial growth may lead to pink staining caused by specific bacterial metabolites.[22,23] With respect to the mechanism of action, many antimicrobial products work by attacking enzymes common to a variety of microbes, interfering with membrane transport processes (e.g., importing environmental copper into the cells) as well as interfering with iron metabolism pathways.[24,25] Herein, an assortment of both rigid and flexible resins/ compounds will be evaluated for susceptibility to determine whether particular resin chemistries or compounds are inherently vulnerable to microbial growth and subsequent degradation or other deleterious effects. Samples were prepared via extrusion utilizing a Leistritz ZSE 27 mm co-rotating twin-screw extruder (Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp., Nuremberg, Germany), followed by injection molding of 5 � 600 (12.7 � 15.24 cm) plaques, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness using a Milacron™ Roboshot™ S2000i.1 For antimicro- bial testing, specified test specimens were prepared from the aforementioned plaques.
