Abstract

In this work, the novel chitosan derivative ethylamine hydroxyethyl chitosan (EHC) was synthesized and blended with cellulose in an aqueous N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solution in order to fabricate antibacterial chitosan/cellulose fiber. The rheological behaviors of the obtained co-solution in both steady and dynamic states were carefully investigated to determine the spinnability of the co-solution. In steady state, the addition of EHC was found to preserve the power-law flow characteristics of cellulose in the aqueous NMMO solution, while broadening the first Newtonian fluid-flow area. Under dynamic conditions, both Han-plot and viscoelastic analyses indicated the homogeneity of the co-solution. EHC/cellulose antibacterial fibers were successfully spun via the lyocell process using aqueous NMMO as the solvent, confirming the excellent spinnability of the EHC/cellulose co-solution. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the obtained EHC/cellulose fibers; they were also investigated for antibacterial activity. The obtained EHC/cellulose fiber exhibited good spinning consistency and strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, demonstrating potential applications for the material in antibacterial textiles.
