Fluoroquinolon‐type antibiotic treatment of PAN and cationic‐dyeable PET fibers for infection resistant materials

Abstract: Commercial poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) and cationic-dyeable poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were dyed with a fluoroquinolon-type antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (Cipro), to develop infection resistant biomedical materials. Regular PET fiber was also treated as a comparison purpose. Experimental parameters examined were different dyeing temperatures, times, and pHs. To investigate effect of hydrolysis on Cipro sorption, the fibers were hydrolyzed by 1% NaOH for 1 or 2 h at 858C and 1008C. Regardless of pH conditions… Show more

“…One of the main reasons for ver satility of these fibers in wide range of applications is due to the presence of high thermal stability [12][13][14]. Even though conventional fiber forming process such as wet spinning and dry spinning produces fibers, electrospinning technique has come out as advantage in the hand of the researchers to produce nanofibers.…”

“…PAN fabrics with various excellent properties such as softness, heat retention, a lower density compared to wool, and so on, have been widely applied as substitutes for wool, known as ‘synthetic wool’. However, due to the addition of a third monomer, numerous anionic dyeing sites can be introduced into PAN fibres thus benefitting PAN fibre dyeing but resulting in uneven dyeing . Retardation methods for cationic dyes on PAN fabrics mainly incorporate two aspects: control of the dyeing process and the addition of retarding agents, an effective method .…”

“…Hence considerable amount of research efforts are involved to produce water absorbent polymers by surface modification of acrylic fibers. Alkaline hydrolysis of acrylic fibers have been studied by various researchers but limited work has been carried out on alkaline hydrolysis of electrospun nanofibrous membranes 16–18…”
