In this article we review some of the contemporary antimicrobial agents used in textiles,
including quaternary ammonium compounds, N-halamines, chitosan, polybiguanides …

The growth of microbes on textiles during use and storage negatively affects the wearer as
well as the textile itself. The detrimental effects can be controlled by durable antimicrobial …

We selected eight kinds of chitosan fibers to characterize and analyze their composition,
surface morphology, and mechanical properties. Crucially, we investigated their …

Highlights•The hydrogel bounded rate onto the surface was improved by a previous
cellulosic chemical activation.•A confirmed antibacterial activity against Escherichi coli …

In this study, we used citric acid (CA) as a crosslinking agent, mixed with biopolymer
molecular chitosan, to perform a pad–dry–cure treatment on woolen fabrics to study its …

In the present work, chitosan was applied on to the braided silk sutures at three different
concentrations and the effects of chitosan coating on the characteristics of braided silk …

Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk was modified with the nano-TiO 2 and chitosan dispersion system
by the crosslinking reactions of citric acid (CA) and maleic anhydride (MA). The average size …

Modification of woolen fabrics was done by the grafting of low‐molecular‐weight
deacetylated chitosan in the presence of citric acid as a crosslinking agent with the pad–dry …

however it has distinct demerits like shrinkage due to presence of cuticle scales on the …

This work was carried out to characterize the changes induced on wool fiber by clay
treatment. Technical measurements were studied including Fourier-transform infrared …
