<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide antimicrobial ultra-microfibers removing fine-particles, microbes from a surface and at the same time preventing proliferation of the microbes on the entire material. <P>SOLUTION: The antimicrobial material comprises at least one yarn having fine fibers of 1.0 denier or less and at least one yarn having antimicrobial fibers that are engaged with each other, wherein the antimicrobial fibers impart an antimicrobial property to the entire material. In a preferred embodiment, the yarns of fine fiber and yarns of antimicrobial fiber are woven or knitted together. It is further preferred that the fine fiber is less than 0.3 denier, have a diameter of approximately 3 microns, and have a generally triangular cross-section with sharp edges, therefore allowing the fine fiber to substantially remove bacteria, fungi and other microbes from the surface. It is also preferred that the antimicrobial fibers comprise an acetate fiber spun together with polyester to enhance the antimicrobial fiber strength. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
