Self-disinfecting glove composition and method of production thereof

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a self-disinfecting glove, the method comprising dissolving an elastomer in a solvent to form a solution, wherein the elastomer is selected from the group consisting of synthetic rubber, natural rubber, and nitrile. Adding of a photosensitizer to the elastomer solvent solution and evaporating the solvent solution to form a film, wherein the photosensitizer is selected from the group consisting of methylene blue, hypericin and titanium dioxide. Next hot pressing of the film above elastomer's melting point to form a sheet. Finally cutting, stacking and hot pressing the sheet again to enable even spread of the photosensitizer throughout the sheet.
