FIBERS CONTAINING CERAMICS INCLUDING ANTIMICROBIAL SOLID-SOLUBILIZED

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain the title fibers eradicating microorganisms proliferating in fiber products or preventing their generation without adverse effect on the fiber characteristics by allowing ceramic fine particles to include antimicrobial agents in the pores and solid-dissolving the ceramic fine particles in the fine pores of fibers. CONSTITUTION:Naturally occurring animal or vegetable fibers or synthetic fibers such as cotton fibers having fine pores are swollen with an alkaline solution and the fine pores are filled with porous silicon ceramic fine particles, then the fibers are dipped in a solution containing antimicrobials such as quaternary ammonium salts, organic nitrogen compounds, chitosan acetate or the like so that the ceramic is impregnated with the microbials whereby the fibers containing ceramics containing antimicrobials solid solubilized are obtained for sanitary purposes.
