Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer material processing, and in particular to an antimicrobial polymer material product and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Disposable gloves are a common type of disposable isolation protective gloves, which are currently widely used in many fields such as medical examination, medical care, laboratories, electronic product processing, food processing, fast food services, etc. With the continuous development of the world economy and the continuous changes in people's consumption concepts, people have put forward more requirements on the functions of gloves.

[0003] Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.) are everywhere in life. Some microorganisms can cause diseases in humans or animals and endanger life safety. For some sterile environments (such as biosafety laboratories), how to minimize the biological hazards and risks that may occur in the environment is an important consideration.

[0004] Wearing gloves can effectively isolate microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Currently, the common gloves on the market are mainly made of latex, silicone, PVC plastic and other materials. These materials are easy to cause the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, increasing the risk of users contracting diseases. At present, the commonly used process for producing antibacterial gloves is to add some antibacterial materials. These antibacterial materials themselves have certain toxicity and low stability. They may decompose and produce toxic substances during processing and production, causing certain harm to the human body. Chinese patent CN112812261A obtains gloves with antibacterial properties by attaching a layer of cationic weakly acidic waterborne polyurethane film to the outside of the nitrile rubber base film, but these antibacterial materials have poor compatibility with the glove matrix material and are easily dissolved, resulting in limited antibacterial time of the gloves. Some antibacterial materials may have weak antibacterial ability themselves and cannot effectively inhibit various pathogens. Chinese patent CN114013082A obtains PVC gloves by adding plasticizers, modified nitrile, antibacterial and antiviral powders, calcium zinc stabilizers, viscosity reducers and other ingredients to PVC paste resin. The process flow of this method is relatively cumbersome and the cost is relatively high. Summary of the invention

[0078] "Photon broadband" or "photon broadband antibacterial" is a purely physical antibacterial technology that uses a photon broadband generator to irradiate textiles for a certain period of time through its low nuclear field particle beam to produce photon particles, thereby making the textiles have antibacterial and antibacterial effects, mite removal and deodorization, as well as antiviral effects, and is stable, long-lasting and effective. At present, photon broadband antibacterial technology is mostly used for the sterilization and disinfection of textiles.

[0079] For example, Chinese patent CN219662345U discloses a photon sterilization cabin temperature control device, and Guangdong Renrenkang Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Renrenkang") discloses a photon antibacterial cabin, whose equipment models are RRK-168, RRK-220, and RRK-390PZ. The corresponding commercial equipment of photon broadband antibacterial technology has also been applied to a variety of textiles. For example, according to Renrenkang, this physical antibacterial method is suitable for textile fabrics, and its application range includes socks, clothes, towels, home textiles, school bags, curtains, etc. In addition, it discloses that the extended use includes using this antibacterial method for antiviral treatment of masks. For example, after treating the KN953D three-dimensional folding protective mask, it has the effect of resisting influenza A virus. According to public reports, Renrenkang uses this technology, the principle of which is to use the effect of low-nuclear field particle beams to irradiate textile items placed in the cabin for about 3 hours, causing them to produce photogranules. This is a purely physical antibacterial technology (https: / / baike.baidu.com / reference / 59104352 / 533aYdO6cr3_z3kATKXZz6mkYCeSPtWouLaFA-BzzqIP0XOpX5nyFIs88sU0sPRoGUTFtY9xadgTmaf4DUhA7P8Yb7VxH-k).

[0159]

[0160] The experiment found that, unlike the antiviral effect of the mask treated with broadband photon antibacterial treatment reported in the prior art, the antibacterial effect of the non-woven mask after broadband photon antibacterial treatment was tested. It was found that for the non-woven mask, broadband photon treatment had poor antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans (see the results in Table 3). It is worth noting that the non-woven mask treated with broadband photon treatment did not have any improvement in the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans.

[0161] On the contrary, when the test objects were set to nitrile / PVC / PE products, the antibacterial rates of photon broadband treatment for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans were all greater than 90% (see the results in Table 1), which was a greater improvement compared to masks or different fabrics (see the results in Tables 3 and 4), and had very excellent antibacterial properties.

[0162] In particular, the antibacterial effect on Candida albicans is more prominent in the nitrile / PVC / PE test objects than in the classic application objects of other photon broadband antibacterial devices (e.g., textiles) (see the results in Tables 3 and 4. The antibacterial rate of nitrile / PVC / PE products treated with photon broadband against Candida albicans is increased by ≥100%, and even up to 120%). This result is surprising because candidiasis is a fungal disease caused by Candida spp., especially Candida albicans. The pathogen can invade the skin and mucous membranes, and can also affect the internal organs. Usually classified according to the affected parts, the two most common syndromes are mucocutaneous candidiasis (such as oropharyngeal candidiasis or thrush, esophagitis and vaginitis) and invasive or deep organ candidiasis (such as candidemia, chronic disseminated or hepatosplenic candidiasis, endocarditis, etc.). Nitrile / PVC / PE products are often used as medical products such as gloves, which may come into contact with the mucosal skin of patients with lower immunity than ordinary people, such as esophageal mucosa, vaginal mucosa, etc. Therefore, the antibacterial treatment results of such products have such unexpected antibacterial and antimicrobial effects on Candida, which has great practical significance.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
