ANTIMICROBIAL FIBER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Provided are an antimicrobial fiber which is excellent in the surface smoothness, transparency and the like, even when it has a diameter of about 10 to 30 µm; and a method for producing the antimicrobial fiber. An antimicrobial fiber containing a transparent resin, a antimicrobial glass, inorganic particles as a dispersing agent for the antimicrobial glass, characterized in that the antimicrobial fiber has a diameter in the range of 10 to 30 µm, the antimicrobial glass has an average particle diameter in the range of 0.1 to 10 µm, the antimicrobial glass is added in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 10 wt % relative to the whole amount, the inorganic particles have an average particle diameter in the range of 1 to 15 µm, and the inorganic particles are added in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the added amount of the antimicrobial glass.
