Abstract:

In order to enhance the antibacterial efficiency of the existing betaine antibacterial agent in cotton fabric finishing, a polysulfonatedbetaine antibacterial finishing agent (PSPB-Am-AGE) was prepared and applied on a cotton fabric for antibacterial property. The effects of temperature, time, amount of initiator, ratio of betaine and acrylamide monomer of synthesizing on the inhibition rate of PSPB-Am-AGE were investigated based on the use of the orthogonal experimental planning method. Counting viable bacteria method was used to test the minimum inhibitory concentration of PSPB-Am-AGE, antimicrobial properties and washing fastness of cotton fabrics after antimicrobial finishing. The optimum conditions for the synthesis are as follows: temperature is 70 ℃, the molar ratio of betaine to acrylamide is 2∶1, the amount of initiator is 2%, and the reaction time is 4 h. The result shows that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PSPB-Am-AGE for Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is 2.625 g/L. FT-IR and SEM confirmed that PSPB-Am-AGE is synthesized and successfully grafted onto the surface of the cotton fabric. It turned out that the antibacterial rates of the finished fabrics against E.coli and S.aureus are 96.25% and 99.79%. The bacterial reduction rates maintains to be over 90% against both bacteria even after 30 consecutive laundering cycles. The washing fastness test shows that treated cotton is better than that of AAA class antibacterial textiles.
