Claim 0:
1. A method for preparing antimicrobial sheets for manufacturing articles having antimicrobial properties, comprising the steps of:
providing a first metalized fabric including a first metal material, the first metal material including a first metal material surface area;
coating the first metalized fabric with first silicone to form a first silicone treated metalized fabric, wherein the coating of the first metalized fabric includes coating at least a portion of the first metal material surface area with the first silicone, and wherein the first silicone promotes bonding between the first silicone treated metalized fabric and a first sheet of uncured polymer;
providing a first sheet of uncured polymer, the first sheet of uncured polymer in solid form and including a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and corresponding lateral surfaces extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, the entirely of the top surface and the entirety of the bottom surface unattached from the first silicone treated metalized fabric;
bonding, using the first silicone and by calendering, the first silicone treated metalized fabric to the top surface or to the bottom surface of the first sheet of uncured polymer to create an antimicrobial material sheet suitable for fabricating articles of manufacture having antimicrobial properties.
