Wool fabric is a suitable medium for growing bacteria under favorable temperature and
humidity conditions resulting in wool degradation, skin irritation or infections. Carboxylic …

This study shows that using a combination of physical and chemical approaches, wool fiber
can be systematically broken down to its constituent components. From this it was possible …

Alginate and copper ions were used for the preparation of modified wool fabrics with
antimicrobial properties. The modified fabrics were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy …

Direct fiber polymer/antibiotic interaction is a promising means of providing infection
resistance textile fabrics. Ionic interaction between cationic reactive groups (antibiotic) and …

In this study, we used citric acid (CA) as a crosslinking agent, mixed with biopolymer
molecular chitosan, to perform a pad–dry–cure treatment on woolen fabrics to study its …

Glycidyl triethyl ammonium chloride (GTEAC) was used to chemically modify the primary
amine groups (-NH2) in wool fabrics to acquire new properties. The properties of treated …

The present article reviews recent developments in different treatments that confer functional
characteristics on wool and some synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyamide and polyester …

This paper reviews the literature on the microbiological deterioration of woolen textiles; it
lists wool-destroying micro-organisms, describes the factors governing their growth and …

Wool is considered to possibly exhibit antibacterial properties due to the ability of wool
clothing to reduce the build-up of odor, which arises from the microbial activity of skin …

The article reviews the recent trends in the development of antimicrobial textiles. Bacterial
cellulose has been produced from gram negative bacteria at the air liquid interface of sugary …
