Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A thermoplastic elastomer (TPO) was modified with organic and inorganic antibacterial additives. The manufactured materials were subjected to mechanical tests and analysis of biocidal properties. The impact of accelerated aging on the TPO’s strength properties and the ability to dissipate energy was evaluated to assess the usefulness of the produced materials. The mechanical testing revealed an increase in tensile strength for materials modified with natural additives and no effect on the properties using inorganic additives. There was no change in the hardness of the tested materials. The accelerated aging process caused a 15% decrease in tensile strength for the materials modified with antibacterial additives, whereas the changes were minimal for the matrix material. The microbiological analyses indicate that the growth of a given bacterium in the presence of the tested samples compared to the native material (control sample) is very diverse, depending on the strain of the microorganism used. Higher rates of survival reduction were observed for gram-negative than for gram-positive bacteria.
