| Popis: | The interest in environment-friendly production technologies has significantly increased the production of functional textile products that protect the environment and human health. In this chapter, chitosan, which is a natural biopolymer obtained from shrimp, is characterized and its antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast species is determined. Chitosan was coated on cotton, wool, and for the first time on denim fabrics (99% cotton and 1% elastane) to reveal how the antibacterial activity of shrimp chitosan has changed after it was coated on textile materials. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was investigated comparatively by qualitative and quantitative methods before and after washing. In order to improve the washing resistance of the shrimp chitosan on textile materials, chitosan–acrylic binder coatings were prepared for the first time. Chitosan can be used as a good antibacterial agent in the production of nonwashable, disposable medical textiles and skin contact textiles both alone and in composites. |
