COBISS.SI-ID: 14616854The antimicrobial activity of chitosan is assigned to its amino groups, which in diluted acids form ammonium salts. The manipulation of chitosan’s binding strategies onto cellulose surfaces i.e.: (i) reversible binding – which enables the release of a bioactive substance from a fibre’s surface and, (ii) irreversible binding resulting in the permanent bioactivity of a fibrous (textile) surface, determines the applicabilities of such surfaces.

COBISS.SI-ID: 14514966In our research we determined the antimicrobial laundering effect by simulating a common laundering procedure for hospital textiles in the laboratory washing machine at different temperatures by the use of the indicator bacteria: Mycobacterium terrae as a representative of mycobacterium family. It was found that M. terrae survived laundering at 35° and 45°C but was completely inactivated at 60°C.

COBISS.SI-ID: 14351382Water for a textile plant comes from various sources like rivers, lakes and subterranean water from wells. Water quality for all processes should be of such quality to avoid any process and final product quality problems (product quality and stability). Water quality requirements or restrictions will be collected for different water functions, like washing, dyeing, printing, cooling, heating, cleaning and requirement for different water quality standards will be described.
