摘要

In order to prepare antimicrobial silver containing chitosan fibers, silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate with particle diameter < 1um were mixed with the chitosan solution and made into fibers by the wet-spinning process. When in contact with solutions containing protein and metal ions, silver ions can be released from these fibers through chelation and ion exchange. This paper discussed the antimicrobial effect of chitosan fibers and silver containing chitosan fibers against three common types of bacteria, i.e., Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas pyocyanea. Results showed that the silver containing chitosan fibers have much stronger antimicrobial effect than the chitosan fibers.
