Abstract

The zinc oxide sol containing quaternary ammonium salts (DMDAAC-ZnO) was synthesized by zinc acetate and dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride via the sol–gel process. Effects of zinc acetate concentration, diethanolamine dosage and dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride dosage on the absorbance-ratio and viscosity of the sol were investigated. Zinc oxide sols were characterized by XRD, TEM and FT-IR. DMDAAC-ZnO was applied to cotton samples and cotton samples treated were tested by antibacterial activity, UV resistance and breaking strength. The antibacterial activity and UV resistance of samples treated by zinc oxide sol containing quaternary ammonium salt were both better than sample treated by zinc oxide sol.
