- W4285295631 abstract "Since there is a growing interest in using polymeric materials with antibacterial and antifungal properties, the present chapter is focused on the effect of natural compounds on the antibacterial and antifungal properties of polyurethane (PU) foams. These materials, in addition to great variety of traditional applications, can be used as antibacterial and antifungal agents both in shipping and storage of bio, pharmaceutical, and medical products, as well as in places where hygiene and sterile conditions are particularly required (e.g., in healthcare, hospitality, education, cosmetology, pharma, or food industries). As a result, they can become an alternative to commonly used mold growth inhibitors and disinfectants, which often show significant harmfulness, both to the environment and human health. Fungi grow in almost any environment, and they reproduce easily in dirt and wet spaces, and thus, the development of antifungal PU foams is focused on avoiding fungal infections and inhibiting growth. Polymers are susceptible to microorganism adhesion and, consequently, are treated and modified to inhibit fungal and bacterial growth. The ability of micro-organisms to grow on polyurethanes can cause human health problems during the use and storage of polymers, making it necessary to use additives that eliminate bacteria and fungi. It is also important for a healthy human life that building thermal insulation made of polyurethane foam have effective antibacterial and antifungal properties so it will not support the mold development and consequently, cause allergies and pulmonary or immune system problems. The results of the multidisciplinary research information presented in this chapter indicate that it is possible to modify and enhance bio-resistance of PU foams with either inorganic or bio-based compounds. Furthermore, such enhancements can also improve the foam cellular structure, leading to increased mechanical strength, and possibly reduce foam thermal aging." @default.
