In this study, a variety of plastic substrates (30 unique polymer compounds), including poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene), poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(etherimide), various thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), poly(carbonates), and poly(amides), were screened for susceptibility to microbial attack using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial suscep- tibility) test standards.
Samples were prepared via extrusion utilizing a Leistritz ZSE 27 mm co-rotating twin-screw extruder (Leistritz Advanced Technologies Corp., Nuremberg, Germany), followed by injection molding of 5 � 600 (12.7 � 15.24 cm) plaques, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness using a Milacron™ Roboshot™ S2000i.1 For antimicro- bial testing, specified test specimens were prepared from the aforementioned plaques.
