Abstract

Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide for an anti-bacterial fiber. The method of manufacturing includes adding a ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene structure into an extrusion device. The method of manufacturing also includes providing an anti-bacterial low-density polyethylene (LDPE) into the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene at a predetermined temperature to create a combined filament. The method of manufacturing further includes passing the combined filament through a bath. The bath is configured for coagulating the combined filament and extracting a solvent. The method of manufacturing still further includes drying the combined filament via an oven. The method of manufacturing also includes hot-drawing the combined filament. The combined filament is heated during the hot-drawing within the oven and the combined filament generated has anti-bacterial qualities. A corresponding anti-bacterial fiber is also provided.
