Abstract

In this work, antimicrobial polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics were prepared by coating composited natural brucites with three different particle sizes (1250, 2500 and 5000 mesh) in different mass ratios (1:1:1, 1:1:2, 1:2:1 and 2:1:1) on PET fabrics. The PET fabrics were combined with the brucites using waterborne polyurethane by physical adsorption. The percent reduction of antimicrobial PET fabrics against Staphylococcus aureus reached 100%, and the antimicrobial grade against A. niger reached 0 grade. In addition, the antimicrobial PET fabrics prepared in mass ratio of 1:1:1 showed a better antimicrobial property against Escherichia coli and Candida albicans than the others, which reached 99.73 and 95.23%, respectively. Moreover, the laundering durability of antimicrobial PET fabrics was good. Therefore, the magnesium-based antimicrobial PET fabrics could be used in biology and medicine.
