Effect of the Woven Proportions and Structures on the Bacterial Activity of the Silver-Plated/ Photocatalyst Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study is to weave the yarns of silver-plated fiber and photocatalyst fiber together to make 18 kinds of fabrics with different woven proportions and structures, and conduct antibacterial experiments on the fabrics with agar diffusion plate method. The experimental results show that for the strains of E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with the increasing woven proportion of silver-plated fiber and photocatalyst fiber, the width of inhibition zone grows; and in the condition of the same woven proportion of the two fibers, the plain weave fabric has the best antibacterial activity. And overall considering the antibacterial activity, cost and safety of the fabric, the plain weave fabric with 12.5% distribution ratio of silver-plated fiber is the optimal antibacterial fabric among the 18 samples.
