Abstract:
Researchers always give attention to find a better polymeric substance for antimicrobial properties development on jute fabric. Because of non-toxic, biodegradable nature, as well as absorption coefficient capabilities, chitosan is always used as a antimicrobial agent. But chitosan has a narrow solubility range and also give adhesive effect on jute fabric that makes fabric difficult to further use especially in medical textile. By creating derivatives such carboxylated, thiolated and acylated from chitosan, this drawback can remove. Here, derivatives metal complex (CMC-Zn) has been prepared, analyzed and studied. GSM, thickness and antimicrobial tests of both chitosan and CMC-Zn have been studied and compared. CMC-Zn has lower GSM and thickness than chitosan treated jute fabric. CMC-Zn has also shown good antimicrobial result on jute fabric. We looked into the possible advantages of these enhanced chitosan derivatives for medical textile.
