Summary New compositions based on arsenic oxide nanoparticles and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were prepared. Sufficient antibacterial activity has been achieved for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas syringae . The antibacterial materials so obtained are non‐irritant. At the same time, the PVC‐based composites have high thermal stability as demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis and aging of samples; crosslinking enhances thermal stability. Still further, we have determined scratch resistance in a microscratch tester. High scratch resistance has been demonstrated, including strong viscoelastic scratch recovery (the bottom of the groove goes up inside of 2 minutes).
