Robust ZIF-8/alginate fibers for the durable and highly effective antibacterial textiles

Antibacterial fibers have great potential in many applications, such as medical dressings, surgical sutures and masks, etc. owing to their good growth inhibition against bacteria. However, for the fabrication of antibacterial fibers, the traditional inorganic nanoparticles coating method shows the disadvantages of high cost, low stability and binding fastness. Herein, we develop a facile, scalable and cost-effective blend spinning strategy to...
