Antisoiling and Antibacterial Modification of Textiles using Fluoroalkyl Containing Oligomers
【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.27 Vol.27】
By using these co-oligomers, antisoiling, antibacterial modifications of textiles (especially cellulose) were studied. Through measuring contact angles and XPS spectra, it was shown that the textile surfaces modified with fluoroalkylated co-oligomers containing ammonium and phosphonium segments changed to water- and oil-repellent, namely antisoiling, while non-fluoroalkylated oligomers could not change the surfaces to water- and oil-repellent.
The surfaces modified with the co-oligomer containing phosphonium segments were found to exhibit a high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, but not against Escherichia coli. Moreover, the co-oligomers containing phosphonium segments were found to retard the multiplication of Aureobasidium pullulans and Cladosporium even when the concentration of oligomers was lower than 0.01%.
