The antibacterial, fungicidal, and bacteriostatic treatment of plastics is a focal point of TITK’s current research. By incorporating antimicrobial additives into polymeric materials, plastics can be endowed with specific properties. Depending on the additives used, these plastics can exhibit bactericidal, fungicidal, or virucidal effects.TITK has developed patented methods for the antibacterial treatment of plastics. These methods enhance the effectiveness of conventional agents like metal ions by optimizing them through modified carrier polymers. Additionally, TITK is exploring the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as an alternative approach.Simultaneously, TITK is investigating innovative strategies involving natural substances as antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, research is underway on incorporating bacteriophages as components specifically targeting antibacterial efficacy in plastics.
