Abstract
A thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention comprises about 100 parts by weight of a rubber-modified aromatic vinyl-based copolymer resin; about 5 to about 25 parts by weight of a polyetheresteramide block copolymer; about to about 1.5 parts by weight of a silver (Ag)-based compound; and about 1 to about 15 parts by weight of zinc oxide, wherein the weight ratio of the polyetheresteramide block copolymer and the sum of the silver-based compound and the zinc oxide (polyetheresteramide block copolymer:silver-based compound+zinc oxide) is about 1:0.1 to about 1:2. The thermoplastic resin composition has excellent antiviral properties, weather resistance, impact resistance, and the like.
Claims9
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising:
- about 100 parts by weight of a rubber-modified aromatic vinyl copolymer resin;
- about 5 to about 25 parts by weight of a polyether-ester-amide block copolymer;
- about 0.05 to about 1.5 parts by weight of a silver (Ag) compound;
- and
- about 1 to about 15 parts by weight of zinc oxide,
- wherein a weight ratio of the polyether-ester-amide block copolymer to the sum of the silver compound and the zinc oxide (polyether-ester-amide block copolymer:
- silver compound+zinc oxide) ranges from about 1:0.15 to about 1:1.5, and
- wherein the thermoplastic resin composition has a virus killing time of about 20 hours or less, as measured on a specimen having a size of 5 cm×5 cm over time at 25° C. and 50% RH in accordance with ISO 21702, in which the specimen is inoculated with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus or influenza A virus fluid, and
- wherein the thermoplastic resin composition has a color variation (ΔE) of about 3 or less, as calculated according to Equation 1 based on initial color values (L0*, a0*, b0*) measured on an injection-molded specimen having a size of 50 mm×90 mm×2.5 mm using a colorimeter and color values (L1*, a1*, b1*) of the specimen measured in the same manner as above after testing for 300 hours in accordance with ASTM D4459:
