Figure Lengend Snippet: Antibacterial activity of mini-injection molded samples made of Premix (black bars) or BASF (grey bars) polymers without and with D CuO NPs at varying concentrations (1, 2, and 3%, w/v) against S. aureus (a) and E. coli (b). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. control (one-way ANOVA, post Tukey's Multiple Comparison test, n = 4).
Article Snippet: We used two grades of polyamide 6 (PA6) in this study, namely BASF Ultramid® B27E, a low-viscosity PA6 suitable for compounding and monofilament production, and PREXELENTTM PA601-10R (Premix PA6), a thermoplastic compound based on BASF PA6 with 10% tall oil rosin.
