摘要

An N-halamine precursor monomer, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl acrylate (TMPA), was synthesized and successfully grafted onto cotton fibers via an impregnation process (IP) and electron-beam irradiation (EB). The grafted cotton fibers could provide antibacterial efficacy after chlorination through a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution. The antibacterial efficacy was challenged against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The cotton fibers grafted with TMPA and acrylic acid by EB inactivated all of the bacteria within 30 min of contact, whereas the samples grafted with TMPA via an IP could not completely kill the bacteria with 60 min. The breaking strength and UVA light stability also improved significantly.
