Abstract

The use of antimicrobial agents on fabrics has a very long history. Although several classes of antimicrobial agents (such as phenols, halogens, quaternary ammonium salts and metal salts) have been developed for textiles, most of them are toxic. The aim of our study was to treat polyester and cellulose-polyester fabrics with allicin-conjugated nanocellulose. These fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Also, the antibacterial ability of treated fabrics was determined by AATCC method 100-1993. The results showed both treated fabrics had significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. It can be concluded that allicin-conjugated nanocellulose can be attached to polyester and cellulose-polyester fabrics to impart a stable antibacterial property.
