Abstract
"Chitosan Derivatives - Promising Sustainable Biopolymers for Quality Healthcare Textiles"
Highlights
The consumers are increasingly aware of the hygienic lifestyle and there is necessity and expectation for high quality healthcare textiles
Preparation of carboxymethyl-trimethyl chitosan chloride (CMTMCC): CMTMCC was synthesized by reductive carboxymethylation of trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMCC) that was accomplished by a chemical reaction between TMCC and monochloroacetic acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide
Two new absorption peaks at 1401 cm-1 and 1610 cm-1 were attributed to the methyl group of ammonium and carbonyl group in CMTMCC
Summary
The consumers are increasingly aware of the hygienic lifestyle and there is necessity and expectation for high quality healthcare textiles. Healthcare textiles represent structurally designed and accomplished for a new health and hygiene-related textiles products for the well-being of mankind which applications is diverse, ranging from hospitals, hotels to personal care products. Because of their importance, a number of chemicals have been employed to impart antimicrobial activity to textile materials. With the public’s enhanced awareness of eco-safety, there has been considerable debate about their use, because majority of such agents are toxic to humans and are not environmentally friendly. The role of textile finishers has become increasingly demanding and has strengthened the interest in alternative ecofriendly and biodegradable finishing agents [2-5]
