Synthesis of Silver Mono- and Di-Carboxylates and Investigation of their Usage Possibility in Textiles as an Antibacterial Agent
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2015, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The study aims to examine the antibacterial efficiency of cotton fabrics loaded with silver cyclo hexane mono or di carboxylates (silver naphthenates). After the synthesis of silver naphthenates, their chemical structures were analysed with spectrophotometric methods (IR and NMR). Then the usage possibility of Ag naphthenates as an antibacterial agent in the finishing of cotton fabrics was investigated. Their antimicrobial activity against three gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) nd three gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis) bacteria were studied. The stability of the antibacterial effect after repeated washings (1-5-10-20) was also tested.
