The article provides some useful insights on recent trends in the antimicrobial treatment of silk. The antimicrobial activity of silk fabric pretreated with Moreinga oilfera and dyed with natural coloring matter extracted from madder using microwave heating methods, has been investigated. On the one hand the dyeability was enhanced and on the other the antimicrobial activity against certain types fungi and bacteria have revealed high inhibition percent than untreated samples. The microwave method of heating adopted proves to be more economical and ecofriendly in comparison with conventional techniques. An attempt has been made to produce an antibacterial and absorbable fixation screw by adding gentamicin to silk based materials. The objective has been to avoid removal of internal fixation devices after an orthopaedic surgery caused by implant associated infections and non absorbing materials that contributed to second surgical procedure. Alum mordanted and unmordanted silk fabrics have been dyed with green walnut shell. Improved antimicrobial effect has been observed on selected strains of bacteria. |
