A blown film grade PBS (FZ91PD) was used as a polymer matrix.
Its melting temperature and melt flow rate were 110 C and 6 g/
10 min respectively. Thymol was selected as an antimicrobial agent
to reduce the growth rate of E. coli and S. aureus. Fig. 1 illustrates the
chemical structure of (a) PBS and (b) thymol.
