Abstract:
1. A solid or foamed rubber, synthetic rubber, or neoprene, or other suitable polymer compound; consisting essentially of; polychloroprene or other suitable polymer and at least one metal oxide or metal oxide composition of nanoparticle size, wherein said nanoparticle sized metal oxide or metal oxide composition is of a concentration within said compound that provides anti-bacterial or anti-microbial properties sufficient to retard or eliminate bacterial or microbial growth on any surface of said compound and wherein said metal oxide is the silver oxide of Artic Silver 5 or an equivalent metal oxide composition including sub-micron sized silver oxide, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles as well as a polyol ester carrier agent, wherein the thermal conductance of said metal oxide composition is greater than 350,000 W/m 2 ° C. for a 0.001 inch layer of said metal composition, the thermal resistance is less than 0.0045° C.-in 2 /Watt for a 0.001 inch layer of said metal composition, and the average particle size is less than 0.49 microns for less than a 0.000020 inch layer of said metal composition.
