Development of PET Fabrics Containing N-halamine Compounds with Durable Antibacterial Property

Antibacterial textile materials are widely used in daily life, but most are disposable products with poor antibacterial durability. N-halamine can rapidly inactivate microorganisms, has good stability, and shows great potential applications in antibacterial fabrics. In this study, an N-halamine monomer precursor was synthesized and treated onto PET fabrics. The treated PET fabrics were rendered antibacterial functionality after chlorination, and...
