Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Chemistry
  • Applied Microbiology

Background:

  • Cellulosic and wool fabrics are widely used but susceptible to microbial growth.
  • Developing durable antibacterial textiles is crucial for hygiene and product longevity.
  • Traditional antibacterial treatments can be harsh or lack durability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create solvent-free pigment formulations for antibacterial functionalization of textiles.
  • To investigate the efficacy of different bioactive agents on cellulosic and wool substrates.
  • To evaluate the durability and coloration properties of the developed antibacterial prints.

Main Methods:

  • Solvent-free pigment formulations incorporating choline chloride, triclosan derivative, PEG-600, and 4-hydroxybenzophenone.

  • Screen printing application followed by microwave fixation on cellulosic and wool fabrics.
  • Antibacterial activity testing against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria.
  • Wash durability tests (15 cycles) and assessment of coloration properties.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful incorporation of bioactive agents into solvent-free pigment formulations.
    • Antibacterial activity demonstrated, with higher efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) than Gram-negative (E. coli).
    • Functional and coloration properties remained largely unaffected after 15 washings, indicating good durability.
    • The effectiveness of antibacterial activity and coloration depended on the bioactive agent, substrate, and pigment.

    Conclusions:

    • Solvent-free pigment formulations enable effective antibacterial functionalization of cellulosic and wool textiles via screen printing and microwave fixation.
    • The developed antibacterial textile prints exhibit durable performance against common bacteria and maintain aesthetic qualities after multiple washes.
    • This approach offers a promising method for creating functional textiles with enhanced hygienic properties.
