“…The cotton fabric was treated with a mixture of chlorinated waxes, antimony and copper salts, and the fabric became resistant to water, fire and microorganisms. Among the early treatments used to impart microbial resistance in cellulosic fabrics are 45,46) : Cadmium, copper, chromium, mercury, tin, and zinc salts or organometallic compounds; Phenols and various phenol derivatives; Ammonium and phosphonium compounds; Amino-formaldehyde resins; Various tars and creosote compounds; and Chemical modification of cellulose (makes cellulose indigestible to microorganisms).…”

Abstract-A wide variety of materials including aldehydes, cationic agents, alcohols, peroxygens, phenols and chlorinated phenols, metal ions are being employed as biocides. Among three levels for biocidal functions (sanitization, disinfection and sterilization), disinfection is an enough level for antimicrobial textiles. In terms of antimicrobial agents for textile applications, quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), chitosan, metal and metal salts, N-halamine based materials are developed with numerous research and the positive ions of those materials may result in disinfection of microorganisms. Photocatalysts, especially titanium dioxide (titania) produces the hydroxyl radical (․OH) which causes inactivation of microorganisms after UV radiation, have been used for antimicrobial applications.
