Synthesis of modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers with antibacterial properties and their characterization
Citation
closedAccessAbstract
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers were grafted with vinyl monomers by utilizing benzoyl peroxide. Grafted PET fibers were modified in optimized conditions with several functional groups such as amine, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide(,) and triclosan to gain antibacterial feature. The second part of this study comprised examination of the antibacterial features of PET fibers via use of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) bacteria. Kirby-Bauer test is used to study antibacterial properties. The longest zone diameter for Trc-GMA-g-PET fibers was 56 mm for E. Coli whereas the biggest diameter for S. aureus bacteria was 130 mm with Trc-MMA-g-PET fibers.
