Antimicrobial Properties of the Modified Cotton Textiles by the Sol-Gel Technology

Abstract:

Comparison of the antimicrobial properties of textiles with amorphous coatings containing Zn and Si obtained by the sol-gel technology against microorganisms Pseudomonas fluorescens, Saccharomyces cerevisae, Trichoderma viride that can cause cotton textile destruction was made. Modified textile were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Investigation of antimicrobial properties of the cotton fabric samples treated with different zinc acetate dihydrate concentration sols and various thermal post-treatments was made. Strong inhibition of microbial growth was detected for all cotton textile samples treated via sol-gel method according all tests microorganisms.
