Infos

This book emphasizes the steps taken to obtain a new material with improved properties by combining two completely different materials, namely a biopolymer called Arboblend V2 Nature and silver nanoparticles, using three different types of technology to achieve the expected results, such as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). Silver nanoparticles are known to provide antimicrobial properties for surfaces. The main goal was to create a benchmark of materials that can be further exploited in various applications such as medical, dental, automotive, electronics, etc. The potential advantages of combining Arboblend V2 Nature with silver nanoparticles are undergoing continuous study and evaluation to identify future application directions. The Arboblend V2 Nature pellets are coated by PVD with a nanometric layer of metallic silver. This continuous nanofilm produces silver nanoparticles during the plastification stage of the injection molding process. Nano-coating fragmentation allows the distribution of silver nanoparticles in the polymer matrix with shallow contents and incomparable homogeneity. Uniform diffusion of silver nanoparticles in the polymer matrix improves the nanocomposites' properties.
