Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to use the synthesized Ag-TiO2 and commercial ZnPT complexes in the development of antimicrobial textile. As a result of these studies; Ag-TiO2 and ZnPT complex have antimicrobial activity against all test microorganisms including E. cloaceae, E. faecalis, S. typhimirium, S. epidermidis, P. vulgaris, Y. pseudotuberculosis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, B. subtilis, E. coli, L. monocytogenes and C. albicans. Optimum conditions of application on cotton textile sample were determined as full bath applying at 50oC for 60 min. and drying at 70oC for 60 min. Optimum concentration values for the application were determined as 4g/L for Ag-TiO2 and 0.01g/L for ZnPT, and these values were shown as bacteriocidal concentration (MBC) by shake-flask method. Furthermore, it has been determined that the antimicrobial activity of textile samples are durable up to 10 repeated washings and are permanent for more than 25 days.
