Antibacterial fabric is a kind of fabric with antibacterial function, it can effectively inhibit and kill the growth of bacteria, reduce the growth of bacteria on the fabric, so as to maintain the cleanliness of the fabric. With the increasing concern of people for health and hygiene, antibacterial fabrics have been widely used in daily life and work. However, the antibacterial fabrics on the market still face some problems, such as the antibacterial effect is not durable, toxic, harmful to the human body and so on. Therefore, how to improve the performance of antibacterial fabrics has become a hot and difficult problem. This article will discuss several methods to improve the performance of antibacterial fabrics.

First of all, the use of new antibacterial agents is one of the important ways to improve the performance of antibacterial fabrics. Most of the traditional antibacterial agents are composed of heavy metal ions and organics, which have certain toxicity and volatility. Most of the new antibacterial agents are inorganic antibacterial agents and nanotechnology, which have the characteristics of low toxicity, low volatility and high efficiency. For example, the antibacterial effect of silver ions has been extensively studied, and by embedding silver nanoparticles into textile materials, bacteria and fungi can be effectively killed. In addition, materials such as nano-zinc oxide and nano-titanium dioxide can also be used to achieve antibacterial effects.

Secondly, improving the fiber structure of the fabric can improve the antibacterial performance. The fiber structure of the fabric has an important influence on the antibacterial function. Common improvement methods include increasing the surface area of the fiber, improving the antibacterial activity of the fiber, and changing the surface morphology of the fiber. Increasing the surface area of the fiber can increase the contact area of the antibacterial agent, thus enhancing the antibacterial effect. For example, substances with antibacterial functions, such as fiber dyes, can be embedded inside the fiber to improve antibacterial properties. In addition, the antibacterial effect of the fiber can also be improved by changing the cross section shape of the fiber and increasing the branching degree of the fiber.

Thirdly, the reasonable selection of the addition of antibacterial agents is also the key to improve the performance of antibacterial fabrics. Different antibacterial agents have different ways of adding, choosing the appropriate way of adding can improve the antibacterial effect. Common addition methods include impregnation, spraying and surface coating. The impregnation method is to immerse the textile material in the antibacterial solution, so that it fully adsorbs the antibacterial agent, and then remove the excess antibacterial agent by pressing and other ways. The spraying method is to spray the antibacterial agent solution on the textile material so that it is evenly distributed on the surface of the textile material. The surface coating method is to coat the antibacterial agent on the surface of the textile material to form an antibacterial layer. Different addition methods have an important impact on the antibacterial effect, washable resistance and sustainability of antibacterial fabrics, so it is necessary to consider comprehensively when selecting the addition method.

The development of new functional fibers is also a way to improve the performance of antibacterial fabrics. Functional fibers refer to fiber materials with specific functions. By changing the chemical structure and physical properties of fibers, they can achieve multiple functions such as antibacterial, deodorant, and ultraviolet protection. At present, some functional fibers have been developed, such as antibacterial fibers, antibacterial moisture absorbent fibers and flame retardant antibacterial fibers, which have good antibacterial effect and durability. Through the continuous development of new functional fibers, people can meet the continuous improvement of the performance of antibacterial fabrics.

To sum up, improving the performance of antibacterial fabrics requires an integrated approach. The antibacterial properties of antibacterial fabrics can be effectively improved by using new antibacterial agents, improving the fiber structure of fabrics, rationally selecting adding methods of antibacterial agents and developing new functional fibers. With the development of science and technology and the increasing demand for health, we have reason to believe that the performance of antibacterial fabrics will continue to be improved.
