Development of Synergistic Antimicrobial Coating of p-Aramid Fibers Using Ag Nanoparticles and Glycidyltrimethylammonium Chloride (GTAC) without the Aid of a Cross-Linking Agent
Functional p-aramid fibers that can express antimicrobial activity were produced by simple processing of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are well known as antimicrobial agents, by using glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTAC), a quaternary ammonium salt. P-aramid fibers were treated with GTAC...

description | Functional p-aramid fibers that can express antimicrobial activity were produced by simple processing of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are well known as antimicrobial agents, by using glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTAC), a quaternary ammonium salt. P-aramid fibers were treated with GTAC by the pad-dry-cure process and put into an Ag colloid solution for reactions at 40 °C for 90 min to prepare GTAC/AgNPs-treated p-aramid fibers. Through these processes, GTAC was used as a substitute for existing cross-linking agents. The changes in the degree of attachment of AgNPs to the surface of p-aramid fibers were determined using a scanning electron microscope according to parameters such as GTAC concentration, Ag colloid concentration, and reaction temperature. Through this study, the following results were obtained: (i) The tensile strength of AgNPs/GTAC-treated p-aramid fibers was found to be about 80% of that of untreated p-aramid fibers; (ii) Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of p-aramid fibers did not change much after GTAC/AgNPs treatment and (iii) Antimicrobial activity analysis showed that AgNPs/GTAC-treated p-aramid fibers exhibited superior antibacterial properties compared to untreated p-aramid fibers, which may or may not be the effect of GTAC or AgNPs, or both. |
