Abstract
Methods of forming antimicrobial resin compositions comprising silver nanoparticles are disclosed. Such methods generally comprise: combining a silver-containing material with a resin in situ in the presence of a silver-binding compound; and curing the resin. Antimicrobial polymeric resin compositions formed by said methods have a lighter color than control compositions and also display a slower release of silver ions over time.
