Evaluation of crosslinking type and antibacterial activities of copper oxide loaded cotton textile fabrics

Abstract

In the current study, the efficacy of Cu(I)O micro and two different cross linkers as a antibacterial metal oxides on textile substrates versus Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was examined. In particular, bacterial inhibition relationship of micro Cu (I) O with two different cross linkers needed to exhibit effective bacterial action was studied. On textile substrates such as 100%cotton, there was 89,44-94,42% rebate in bacterial counts. Effectiveness of  the antibacterial action was retained after ten and twenty cycles.

Keywords
