Antimicrobial polymers for textile products
نویسندگان
چکیده
Researches concerning the development of polymer biocides represent a great challenge for both academic world and industry. This review will cover most recent advances in antimicrobial polymers for textile coating and finishing. Methods of synthesis, application and grafting of such polymers on textile substrates will be illustrated. Biocidal performances and stability (i.e. fastness to washing) will be reported as parameters for comparison when possible. Since the evaluation method of the antimicrobial efficiency of textile materials is a crucial factor, the most used standard test methods will be also discussed in the chapter. There are several recognized protocols in the literature for evaluating the efficiency of biocidal surfaces. Research works dealing with antimicrobial polymers from natural and synthetic sources were examined.

متن کاملAntimicrobial Polymers in the Nano-World
Infections are one of the main concerns of our era due to antibiotic-resistant infections and the increasing costs in the health-care sector. Within this context, antimicrobial polymers present a great alternative to combat these problems since their mechanisms of action differ from those of antibiotics. Therefore, the microorganisms' resistance to these polymeric materials is avoided. Antimicr...
