While BBIT possesses higher thermal
stability (ca. 300�C) than ZPT (Td,5% loss = 260�C), it also
becomes increasingly volatile at temperatures in excess of
175�C (Figure S2).
ZPT-
containing TPEs inhibited the growth (rating = 0) for a
mixture of environmentally relevant fungal species during
ASTM G21-15 testing (Table 2) and also yielded ≥3-log
reductions (99.9%) in E. coli and ≥4-log reductions
