"Chitosan Derivatives - Promising Sustainable Biopolymers for Quality Healthcare Textiles"

Abstract

and CMTMCC. CMTMCC modified fabric exhibited best antimicrobial activity. TMCC and CMTMCC treated fabric showed more wicking height (cm) comparatively than chitosan treated fabric. Moisture absorption and moisture liberation, swelling and water vapor permeability of treated fabric were investigated. Thermal stability of treated fabric was also studied. All these characteristics support the TMCC and CMTMCC treated fabric could be the valuable materials for medical textile sector.
