Anti-microbial Finishing of Polyester Fibers using Ciprofloxacin Antibiotics

Ciprofloxacin을 이용한 폴리에스테르 섬유의 항미생물 가공

The quinolone antibiotics Ciprofloxacin shows broad antimicrobial spectrum, heat stability, limited water solubility, and similar structure and size to disperse dyes. The object of this study is to develop the infection-resistant medical extile material by applying Ciprofloxacin to a series of polyester materials such as PET, PDO, PLA, and PGA. All the Ciprofloxacin compound polyester materials demonstrated the superior antimicrobial activity to the organisms S. aureus and E. coli.
