Abstract

A cyclic N-halamine precursor, 1-glycidyl-s-triazine-2,4,6-trione (GTT), was synthesized and grafted onto polyester fibers. The tricarbimide rings could be transferred to N-halamine structure upon exposure to dilute sodium hypochlorite solution. Structural and surface characterizations of the polyester (PET) fabrics treated with GTT were accomplished using FT-IR, SEM, and DSC. The antimicrobial efficacy test showed that the N-halamine modified PET could inactivate 6-log of Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and E. coli O157:H7 (Gram-negative) within 10 min of contact time. The antimicrobial fabrics exhibited good durability and stability to washing and storage.
