ABSTRACT

Salicylic acid and three of its derivatives were used to provide antibacterial properties to viscose fabrics. The four bactericides used were bonded to the viscose fabrics using epichlorohydrin or polymer binders. Optimization of the salicylic acid and its derivatives as well as the concentration of polymers was reported. The ability of the polymer binders to attract and bind the four bactericides was observed. The overall results show that the antibacterial reactivity of salicylic acid and its derivatives are in the following order 5-bromosalicylic acid>salicylic acid>5-chlorosalicylic acid>4-chlorosalicylic acid. Using epichlorohydrin as a binding agent, unfortunately, inhibits the bactericidal activity of the four bactericides. The FTIR study concludes that the reaction between salicylic acid as well as its derivatives with epichlorohydrin takes place through the phenolic group of the acids. The unexpected deterioration in the bactericidal properties of salicylic acid and its derivatives as a result of the treatment with epichlorohydrin could be due to the nature of interaction between the epichlorohydrin molecule and the acids molecules. PVP and PU show superior ability to sustain the four bactericides used even after 10 washing cycles.

ABSTRACT

In the present study salicylanilide was reacted with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine producing reactive salicylanilide at a yield of 45% according to reaction conditions set. The reactive salicylanilide was confirmed structurally through FT-IR analysis. Pristine viscose fabric was treated with active salicylanilide to impart permanent antibacterial and antifungus properties to the fabric. Covalently attached reactive salicylanilide, as revealed, was quantitatively assessed through spectrophotometric and nitrogen elemental analysis. The antibacterial and antifungus capability of reactive salicylanilide treated viscose fabric; fastness and washing reproduction were examined and evaluated.

ABSTRACT

Viscose fabrics were treated with polyvinyl pyridine (PVP) using padding technique, followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid, which was prepared by the reaction of tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED) with hydrogen peroxide. Peracetic acid gives higher oxidation of PVP than hydrogen peroxide. FTIR study proved the formation of N-oxide as a result of oxidation. Incorporation of copper and silver ion onto oxidized PVP was also proved by FTIR. The antimicrobial study emphasise that Cu/oxidized PVP and Ag/oxidized PVP have retarded the growth of bacteria significantly, and Ag/oxidized PVP has a far better biocidal activity. The antibacterial activity of both metal ions survived after washing 10 times.
