The antibacterial cellulose fibres with acrylamide polymerization and Ag-loading SiO 2 nanoantibacterial materials were successfully prepared. The chemical structures and morphologies of antibacterial cellulose fibres were characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectrum (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that acrylamide was adsorbed on the surface of the cellulose fibres and formed a layer with thickness of 50-100 nm. The nano-SiO 2 composite antibacterial materials were combined with cellulose fibres firmly by infiltrating into polyacrylamide layer about 100 nm. The antibacterial cellulose fibres with antibacterial layer owned excellent antibacterial effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
