Concurrent antibacterial finishing and transfer printing of different types of fabrics

Abstract

The growth of microbes on textiles inflicts a range of unpleasant effects not only on the textile itself but also on the wearer. The detrimental effects can be controlled by antimicrobial finishing of textile using Sanitized T99-19 in the finishing formulation and simulated curing/transfer printing in one step for different types of fabrics. Improvements of multifunctional property vary, to some extent with the nature of fibrous substrates, resin concentration, simultaneous curing/transfer printing, temperature employed, and various additives in the finishing formulation used to affect the polymerization of the reactant. Optimized resin concentrations as well as transfer printing temperatures to enhance the properties of the finished fabrics were reported. Quantitative analysis was carried out to measure antibacterial activity against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that printed fabrics inhibited the growth of both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ) bacteria compared with control samples (without Sanitized T99-19). Improvement of color strength as well crease recovery angle was obtained. Antibacterial activity was retained up to 20 cycles. Scanning electron microscopy of finished fabrics was performed.

Crucial finishing and transfer printing of polyester blended fabrics

“…The Sanitized ® T99-19 is a superior effectiveness bacteriostatic and fungistatic functional finishing, which could be applied to textile materials such as women hosiery and tights. 5,13…”

“…The Sanitized ® T99-19 is a superior effectiveness bacteriostatic and fungistatic functional finishing, which could be applied to textile materials such as women hosiery and tights. 5,13 Cotton/polyester 50/50, cotton/polyester 33/67, and wool/polyester 40/60 blended fabrics differ in their morphology, chemical, and physical properties. It was expected that their interactions with Sanitized ® T99-19 and its mixture with DMDHEU would be different.…”

“…This has a valuable impact on the durability of the washing process of the antimicrobial finishing as well as fundamental effects on the microbe spectrum, in comparison with the free quaternary ammonium materials. 5 This type of antimicrobial technology is applied on textiles that are used especially in human contact or where durability is of value. In either case, durability to wear and laundering with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity have been demonstrated.…”

“…Our group has recently published a work on the antimicrobial finishing of fabrics using Sanitized ® T99-19 along with cross-linking agent. 5 The most common fabrics after cotton, polyester, and wool are their blends. There are many interrelated factors that may contribute to the justification for replacing a homogeneous textile material by a blend: a.…”

“…It damages the aesthetic function of the fabric. The designs of these clothes should cover the axilla, arm, and legs as possible because these parts contained the highest concentrations of odorcausing bacteria [20,21].…”
