Pamuklu Kumaşlarda Antibakteriyel Bitim İşlemi için Atmosferik Plazma ve Kimyasal İşlemlerin Kombinasyonu

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the incorporation of triclosan based chemical into cyclodextrin based commercial product, bonded onto cotton fabric with and without plasma modification. The treated samples were characterized by SEM analysis. The antibacterial activities of the washed and unwashed samples were evaluated according to the AATCC Test Method 147-1998 and some physical properties were also investigated. It was observed that after the combination process of triclosan, cyclodextrin and atmospheric plasma modification, cotton fabric was able to retain its antibacterial activity up to the 5 washing cycles at 60°C.
