Antibacterial Activity of Polyester Fabric Treated with Nano-TiO2 via One-Bath Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modified polyester fabric with pores was treated with self-synthesized TiO2 under high-temperature (130°C) and high-pressure condition via one-bath process. By SEM, uniform holes and many particles could be seen on the treated fiber surface. EDX was used for analysis. Results show that materials deposited on the fiber surface were TiO2. Shake flask test was selected to evaluate the antibacterial ability of the treated fabric. Antibacterial rate against E.coli and S.aureus were 96.24% and 92.00%, respectively. At the same time, the durability to laundering was also tested. The results indicated that antibacterial property of the treated fabric was still excellent even after it was washed 50 times
