PVC containing silver nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties effective against SARS-CoV-2

Abstract: Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) is commonly used to manufacture biomedical devices and hospital components, but it does not present antimicrobial activity enough to prevent biofouling. With the emergence of new microorganisms and viruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that was responsible for the global pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is evident the importance of the development of self-disinfectant PVC for hospital environments and medical clinics … Show more

“…Thermogravimetric analysis revealed comparable thermal stability between all mixes, with an initial degradation onset temperature of T ≈ 265°C for approximately 70% of total mass and a further degradation at T ≈ 450°C for a further 13% of total mass. There are two major thermal degradation stages for PVC, the first occurs due to the PVC dehydrochlorination with the formation of polyene sequences along the PVC polymer backbone, and the second is associated with the decomposition of the polyene sequences 16 . The first stage (Change 1) occurred from approximately 260–325°C and resulted in an average thermal degradation of 72% for all samples.…”
