Chitosan Immobilized Cotton Fibres for Antibacterial Textile Materials
This paper reports the fabrication of natural, biodegradable, disposable and low cost clothing with antibacterial activity. Chitosan has been successfully immobilized on woven cotton with the help of natural rubber latex. The water contact angle studies reveal increased hydrophilicity of the samples with increase in chitosan concentration. The as prepared materials exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Due to the electrostatic interaction between chitosan and bacterial surface, the chitosan immobilized samples exhibited clear inhibition zones. This study invokes the possibility of fabrication of medical textiles with antibacterial properties by simple processing of woven cotton materials.
期刊介绍:
Polymers from Renewable Resources, launched in 2010, publishes leading peer reviewed research that is focused on the development of renewable polymers and their application in the production of industrial, consumer, and medical products. The progressive decline of fossil resources, together with the ongoing increases in oil prices, has initiated an increase in the search for alternatives based on renewable resources for the production of energy. The prevalence of petroleum and carbon based chemistry for the production of organic chemical goods has generated a variety of initiatives aimed at replacing fossil sources with renewable counterparts. In particular, major efforts are being conducted in polymer science and technology to prepare macromolecular materials based on renewable resources. Also gaining momentum is the utilisation of vegetable biomass either by the separation of its components and their development or after suitable chemical modification. This journal is a valuable addition to academic, research and industrial libraries, research institutions dealing with the use of natural resources and materials science and industrial laboratories concerned with polymer science.
