Abstract:Direct fiber polymer/antibiotic interaction is a promising means of providing infection resistance textile fabrics. Ionic interaction between cationic reactive groups (antibiotic) and carboxylic groups in wool, wool/polyamide, wool/polyester and polyamide was used as tools to develop desirable durable antimicrobial fabrics. The finishing conditions such as pH, finishing temperature, and time were studied. The results revealed that pH of the finishing bath and the antibiotic concentration as well as finishing t… Show more
