Characteristics and functions of Hayes Moore (pure chitosan fiber);
1, antibacterial. Generally speaking, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and other harmful bacteria have negative ions. On the contrary, chitosan has cations because it contains amino groups. Chitosan can inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria due to the attraction of positive and negative charges. This effect increases with the increase of the purity of chitosan, that is, the degree of deacetylation. The antibacterial property of chitosan fiber depends on the purity of chitosan raw material. When wearing fiber clothing containing chitosan, chitosan can effectively inhibit bacteria when it comes into contact with the skin.
2, skin growth promotion. When chitosan fiber is attached to the skin, the lysozyme on the skin proliferates by an average of 1.5~2 times, keeping the skin tender and elastic at all times.
3. Anti-mildew effect. At the low concentration of 0. 15%, the mold spores did not increase after 4 days of culture with 99% chitosan. The higher the concentration and purity of chitosan, the better the effect.
4. Sweat and keep clean.
5. Adsorption of harmful substances. Because chitosan is a natural polymer with positive charge, it has the functions of absorbing metal waves or electronic waves harmful to human body and isolating radioactive pollutants.
6, to prevent static electricity and high dyeing. Chitosan fiber shows similar inherent impedance characteristics to cellulose and man-made fiber, which can effectively prevent static electricity. Chitosan fiber has the best affinity for reactive dyes, followed by direct dyes.
7. Moisturize. Chitosan has a large number of amino groups and hydroxyl groups, so it has good hydrophilicity. Because of its high density of unit charge and polar groups, it also has excellent moisturizing ability, which can protect human body from moisture.
Application of Hayes Moore fiber
Because Hayes Moore fiber has good antibacterial, moisture absorption and moisture resistance, adsorption of odor and heavy metal elements and other functions, it has a very wide range of uses:
1, clothing and sanitary textiles. High-end underwear for men and women; Shirt; Female sanitary napkins; Baby clothes, diapers; Athlete's foot socks; Hospital gown and doctor's surgical gown; Bedding category.
2. Medical field. In vivo and in vitro sutures that can be absorbed by the human body; Gauze and compress fabrics for that treatment of burn and wounds; Artificial skin.
3. Water purifier and air filter.
Hayes Moore fiber has the following advantages:
First of all, boric acid is not used, so the produced Hayes Moore fiber does not contain boron, which has better hygiene and safety.
Secondly, the cost of the prepared Hayes molar fiber is significantly reduced, and ethanol is not used in the solidification process or the first two washing processes, and the total amount of ethanol is reduced by more than 80%.
Thirdly, the Hayes Moore fiber prepared by the invention has high antibacterial performance, and the antibacterial rates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans are above 65%, 98% and 65% respectively.
