Antibacterial fabric is a fabric that is treated with a special process to make it have antibacterial and antibacterial functions. With people's attention to health and hygiene, antibacterial fabrics are gradually widely used in various fields, such as medical health, household goods, clothing, shoes and hats. This paper will introduce the principle, application field and market prospect of antibacterial fabric.
The principle of antibacterial fabrics mainly includes physical antibacterial and chemical antibacterial two kinds. Physical antibacterial is a process that impedes bacterial growth and reproduction by changing the structure and form of fabrics. For example, the use of nanotechnology, silver nanoparticles attached to the surface of the fiber, silver ions will be released and damage the bacterial cell wall, so as to achieve the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. Chemical antibacterial is by adding antibacterial agents to the fabric to inhibit and kill the growth of bacteria. Commonly used antimicrobials are stone compounds, kaolin, copper chloride, etc. These antimicrobials can interact with the metabolic process of bacteria, thereby disrupting the life cycle of bacteria.
Antibacterial fabrics have a wide range of applications. In the medical and health field, antibacterial fabrics are widely used in medical clothing, bedding, surgical cloth, etc., which can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of hospital infections. In the field of household goods, antibacterial fabrics are applied to towels, bedding, sofa covers, etc., which can effectively eliminate odor, inhibit bacterial growth, and provide a more comfortable and hygienic use environment. In the field of clothing, shoes and hats, antibacterial fabrics are widely used in underwear, socks, hats, etc., which can effectively prevent and control bacterial growth and improve the hygienic performance of clothing.
Antibacterial fabrics have broad prospects in the market. First of all, as people's attention to health and hygiene increases, the demand for antibacterial fabrics is gradually increasing. Especially under the current global concern caused by the novel coronavirus epidemic, people's requirements for antibacterial properties are more urgent. Secondly, antibacterial fabrics have a wide range of applications and can meet the needs of various industries for antibacterial properties. Whether it is medical hygiene, household goods or clothing, shoes and hats, antibacterial fabrics can play their special functions. Moreover, with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of technology, the performance of antibacterial fabrics will also be continuously improved and optimized, more in line with people's needs.
However, there are still some problems to be solved in the development process of the antibacterial fabric market. First of all, the cost of antibacterial fabrics is high, leading to its relatively high price, affecting its market competitiveness. Second, the environmental impact of antibacterial fabrics is unclear. Although antibacterial fabrics have a significant effect in killing bacteria, the antibacterial agents used in them may have a certain impact on the environment and need to be further studied and verified.
In summary, antibacterial fabric is a kind of fabric with antibacterial and antibacterial function, which has a wide application prospect in the fields of medical health, household goods, clothing, shoes and hats. As people pay more attention to health and hygiene, the demand for antibacterial fabrics will continue to increase. In the future, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of technology, the performance of antibacterial fabrics will also be further optimized and improved to serve people's health and safety.
