Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2014 / V.26,no.4,Dec Title Preparation, Physical Characteristics and Antibacterial Finishing of PCM/Nylon Fibers having Sheath/Core Structure Authors Hak-Soo Kim, Ji-Yong Hwang, Sang-Hyun Lim1, Jeong-Nam Lim2 and Young-A Son Institution/Affiliations Chungnam National University, 1T&L Co., Ltd.2Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Pages/Total page pp.311 ~ 321 / 11 Language Korean Abstract Abstract: In this study, Aftertreatment properties of PCM/Nylon sheath/core fabrics have been determined. Especially, the relationship between finishing property and content including of PCM ratio. Samples of PCM/Nylon fabrics were monitored, separately, with 2% o.w.f solutions of each of the berberine chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC), benzyldimethylhexadecyl ammonium chloride(BDHAC) and dodecyltrimetyl ammonium bromide(DTAB). Various temperatures and liquor ratio and pH conditions were also studied to optimize aftertreatment properties. Berberine chloride finished sample showed the good color fastness. Cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC) finished sample showed very effective antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
