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.
Claims20
A product having ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection comprising:
- a quantity of synthetic polymer chips having C—H bonds;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles with each particle having a surface;
- and
- a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group sufficient for forming a bond with the quantity of synthetic polymer chips prior to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips being formed into a fiber, wherein the reactive group is azo.
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into a synthetic material prior to the synthetic material being formed by use of a spinneret comprising:
- a quantity of synthetic polymer chips having C—H bonds;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles;
- a quantity of a phosphoether of 4-hydroxybenzophenone for modifying each surface of each zinc oxide particle, the quantity of phosphoether of 4-hydroxybenzophenone sufficient for forming a bond with the quantity of synthetic polymer chips prior to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips being formed into a fiber;
- and
- a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group sufficient for forming a bond with the quantity of synthetic polymer chips prior to the quantity of synthetic polymer chips being formed into a fiber, wherein the reactive group is azo.
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 having C—H bonds;
