Abstract

The article explores the development of durable antimicrobial cotton fabric using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and quaternary ammonium salts (CPTC). The authors address the challenge of bacterial growth on cotton fabrics, which is facilitated by their breathable and hydrophilic properties. Traditional antibacterial agents have limitations in durability and effectiveness. The study introduces CMC as a binder to immobilize CPTC onto cotton fabrics, creating a stable and effective antimicrobial finish. The fabrication process involves soaking, rolling, and heating steps, ensuring chemical stability and easy implementation. The modified fabrics exhibit excellent antibacterial activity and durability, withstanding multiple laundering cycles. The article also highlights the safety and comfort of the modified fabrics, making them suitable for various applications including healthcare and textiles.
