Abstract: Compact Automated Starch-Based Antibacterial Surgical Gown Packaging System This invention describes an automated system for producing starch-based multifunctional packaging materials tailored for surgical gowns, addressing sterility, safety, and sustainability challenges in healthcare logistics. The system synthesizes composite nanoparticles by reacting starch nanoparticles with organic acid anhydride and bacteriostatic agents, enhancing antibacterial, fire-resistant, liquid-repellent, and air-permeable properties. It integrates an extrusion unit for processing these materials with biodegradable additives, creating eco-friendly packaging that decomposes under industrial composting conditions. Real-time microbial contamination monitoring through advanced sensors enables dynamic customization of material properties using an AI-driven control module. The packaging formation unit produces customizable formats with airtight seals, ensuring sterility during storage and transport. QR-code-based smart labels provide traceable sterilization records, linked to a cloud platform for compliance and supply chain transparency. This system combines advanced material engineering, automation, and sustainability to revolutionize surgical gown packaging, ensuring sterility and environmental responsibility while enhancing operational efficiency.
