Abstract
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into a synthetic polymer is disclosed which has a quantity of zinc oxide particles modified with a layer of a reactive group that forms a bond with a quantity of synthetic polymer chips having C—H bonds. A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into a synthetic polymer prior to forming a synthetic material is also disclosed which has a quantity of synthetic polymer chips and a quantity of zinc oxide particles modified with a layer of a reactive group that forms a bond with the quantity of the synthetic polymer chips.
Claims14
A product having ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection comprising:
- a quantity of synthetic polymer chips;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles with each particle having a surface;
- a quantity of benzophenone silane linker for modifying the surfaces of the zinc oxide particles;
- and
- a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each modified zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group sufficient for binding the quantity of the modified zinc oxide particles to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips prior to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips being formed into a fiber, wherein the reactive group is isocyanate.
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into a synthetic polymer prior to forming a synthetic material comprising:
- a quantity of synthetic polymer chips;
- a quantity of ethyl alcohol;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles with each particle having a surface;
- a quantity of benzophenone silane linker, with the benzonphenone silane linker modifying the surfaces of the zinc oxide particles;
- and
- a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each modified zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group sufficient for binding the quantity of the modified zinc oxide particles to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips prior to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips being formed into the synthetic material, wherein the reactive group is isocyanate.
