Contact/Release Coordinated Antibacterial Cotton Fabrics Coated with N-Halamine and Cationic Antibacterial Agent for Durable Bacteria-Killing Application.

ABSTRACT: Coating a cationic antibacterial layer on the surface of cotton fabric is an effective strategy to provide it with excellent antibacterial properties and to protect humans from bacterial cross-infection. However, washing with anionic detergent will inactivate the cationic antibacterial coating. Although this problem can be solved by increasing the amount of cationic antibacterial coating, excessive cationic antibacterial coating reduces the drapability of cotton fabric and affects the comfort of wearing it. In this study, a coordinated antibacterial coating strategy based on quaternary ammonium salt and a halogenated amine compound was designed. The results show that the antibacterial effect of the modified cotton fabric was significantly improved. In addition, after mechanically washing t
