Abstract

Abstract Antimicrobial finishing is increasingly used in textile products to increase their functionality. Antimicrobial properties became extremely important during the COVID-19 situation. The main problems faced by antimicrobial finishing are nontoxicity and durability (wash-resistance) of antibacterial activity. Also, it is important to determine whether the antimicrobial finishing changes comfort properties, such as air permeability. This paper deals with the durability of antimicrobial treatment, that is, resistance to washing, and effect on the structural changes that may have influence on the comfort properties, such as permeability to air. Knits of various raw compositions were antimicrobial-treated with the new commercial antimicrobial product, Si Bactericidal (Smart Inovation, Portugal). After the antimicrobial treatment, knitted specimens were washed 50 times and changes in their structural parameters, air permeability, and antimicrobial activity were measured. It was found that the mentioned antimicrobial treatment gives very good antimicrobial activity to the treated fabric and is wash-resistant and long-lasting. Also, it does not change dimensions and permeability to air of the treated fabrics with some exceptions of cotton-based knitted structures.

针织物的耐久耐洗抗菌处理

摘要抗菌整理越来越多地用于纺织品，以提高其功能。在新冠肺炎疫情期间，抗菌特性变得极其重要。抗菌整理面临的主要问题是抗菌活性的无毒性和耐久性（耐洗涤性）。此外，重要的是要确定抗菌整理是否会改变舒适性，如透气性。本文讨论了抗菌处理的耐久性，即耐洗涤性，以及对可能影响舒适性的结构变化的影响，如透气性。用新的商业抗菌产品Si杀菌剂（Smart Inovation，葡萄牙）对各种原料组合物的刀具进行抗菌处理。抗菌处理后，将针织样品洗涤50次，并测量其结构参数、透气性和抗菌活性的变化。研究发现，上述抗菌处理对处理过的织物具有很好的抗菌活性，并且具有耐洗性和持久性。此外，它不会改变处理过的织物的尺寸和透气性，棉基针织结构除外。
