Antimicrobial Resistance of the Silicone Elastomer

Material processing and post care methods (specifically for the silicone elastomer) for the maxillofacial prostheses in reducing the
biofilm growth. This was performed by subjecting the samples to bacterium infection and then using a plant based antimicrobial to disinfect the test sample. After, the test samples were subjected to mechanical testing (tensile and tear strength, elongation test, Shore A hardness) and morphology tests (visual observation and scanning electron microscopy).

针对颌面义齿的硅橡胶材料加工及后期保养方法（特别是减少生物膜生长的方法），通过将样本暴露于细菌感染，并使用植物基抗菌剂进行消毒测试样本，从而实现。随后，对测试样本进行了机械性能测试（拉伸强度、撕裂强度、伸长率测试、肖氏硬度）以及形态学测试（视觉观察和扫描电子显微镜观察）。
