Abstract

Durable and robust antibacterial fabrics are attracting growing attention due to increasing demands in the medical, feminine products and personal protection fields. Here, we report a simple yet effective method for embedding zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on polyester surfaces to produce an antibacterial polyester-cotton fabric with remarkable laundering and abrasion resistance. The fabric is prepared by pad-rolling, followed by hot-pressing to embed the ZnO nanoparticles onto the polyester fibers. The modified fabric achieves 100% bacterial reduction (BR) rates against both S. aureus and E. coli, exhibiting remarkable laundering durability even after 30 cycles and 600 abrasion cycles. Compared to other strategies using metal nanoparticles for antibacterial fabrics, this preparation is simple, cost-effective, low toxicity, and environmentally friendly, and effectively imparts durable antibacterial properties to fibers. This work represents a practical strategy for developing eco-friendly and cost-effective durable antibacterial textiles.

通过嵌入策略锚定在聚酯/棉花表面的ZnO NPs的高效抗菌耐久性

由于医疗、女性用品和个人防护领域的需求不断增加，耐用耐用的抗菌面料越来越受到关注。在这里，我们报告了一种简单而有效的方法，将氧化锌纳米颗粒嵌入聚酯表面，生产出具有优异耐洗涤和耐磨性的抗菌涤棉织物。这种织物是通过垫轧，然后热压将ZnO纳米粒子嵌入聚酯纤维来制备的。改性织物对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌的细菌减少率达到100%，即使经过30次循环和600次磨损，也表现出卓越的洗涤耐久性。与其他使用金属纳米颗粒制备抗菌织物的策略相比，该制备方法简单、经济、低毒、环保，并有效地赋予纤维持久的抗菌性能。这项工作代表了开发生态友好且具有成本效益的耐用抗菌纺织品的实用策略。

期刊介绍： Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology. As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of the highly interdisciplinary field of polymer science and technology, including: polymer synthesis; polymer reactions; polymerization kinetics; polymer physics; morphology; structure-property relationships; polymer analysis and characterization; physical and mechanical properties; electrical and optical properties; polymer processing and rheology; application of polymers; supramolecular science of polymers; polymer composites.
