Guanidine Derivatives Leverage the Antibacterial Performance of Bio-Based Polyamide PA56 Fibres.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial damage has significantly impacted humanity, prompting the control of harmful microorganisms and infectious diseases. In this study, antibacterial bio-based PA56 fibres were prepared with high-speed spinning using ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (EMA) as the compatibiliser and polypentamethylene guanidine sulphate (PPGS) as the antibacterial agent. The effects of PPGS content on the properties of PA56 draw-textured yarns (DTYs) were investigated. The compatibility between PPGS and PA greatly improved with EMA incorporation. Compared with PA56 fibres, the elongation at break of the sample containing 2.0 wt% EMA and PPGS increased by 25.93%. The inhibition rates of the fibres with 1.0 wt% PPGS against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus
