Bacteria generally spread on all plastic tools, which means that all plastics can harbor harmful microorganisms. Not only can these bacteria survive on plastic surfaces for a long time, but they are also likely to spread to people who come into contact with the object.
To make plastic "healthy", researchers from the Centre for Nanoscience at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed an innovative way to treat plastic to stop the spread of infection in patients and hospitals. This method can effectively prevent bacterial growth, using silver nanoparticles and a small electric current.
Although antibacterial plastics are not a rare black technology for a long time, the antibacterial plastics on the market are generally made of antibacterial agents. The new antibacterial plastics will be safer and healthier than older models that contain antibacterial agents.
I hope that antibacterial plastics will be popularized as soon as possible, so that our health will be further protected.
