Stable Micro Systems’ Post

Have you ever wondered how tea tree essential oil could enhance the properties of polymer blends? Researchers at Federal University of Technology – Paraná used their Texture Analyser to investigate the impact of incorporating tea tree essential oil into electrospun fibers of Ecovio® polymer blends. The mechanical properties of the fibres were evaluated according to ASTM D882‐10 specifications. The study found that the inclusion of tea tree essential oil improved the antimicrobial properties of the fibres, making them potentially useful in various applications. This research sheds light on the potential benefits of incorporating natural antimicrobial agents into polymer materials.
