Preparation of the Photocatalyst Textiles and Test on the Antibacterial Properties

Abstract:

In order to further study anti-bacterial properties and the influence of different content of photocatalyst fibers on the anti-bacterial properties, the photocatalyst and bamboo fiber were blended with different proportions and series of fabric samples were selected in the experiments. Shock method was used for the fabric samples which the anti-bacterial properties were tested and analyzed. Test results showed that, the inhibition of bacterial function is better for textiles woven with fibers of photocatalyst modification. When the fiber content of photocatalyst is 40% in the fabric, the inhibitory rate of the fabric can be reached to 86%, and can provide a theoretical basis for the future development of anti-bacterial fabrics.
