Abstract
ABSTRACTA viable method for coating of cellulose fiber with quaternarized N‐halamine is reported in this article. The use of quaternary ammonium salt group in combination with N‐halamine group can reinforce the antibacterial activity. The chemical structure of as‐synthesized N‐halamine precursor 4‐(Bromo‐acetic acid methylester)‐4‐ethyl‐2‐ oxazolidinone (BEO) was characterized by1H‐NMR. The cellulose fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra and X‐ray photoelectron spectra. The spectra data confirmed that the quaternarized N‐halamine‐grafted cellulose fibers were successfully obtained. The antibacterial properties of functional fibers were challenged with both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The antibacterial tests and showed that the as‐prepared antibacterial cellulose fibers exhibited powerful and rapid bactericidal performance against both Gram negativeE. coliand Gram positiveS. aureus. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
