Why is it important?

This research showed that both covalent and non-covalent methods could induce the suitable antibacterial activity against S. aureus to cellulose fabrics.

Perspectives

cellulose fibers are frequently used in the production of health care/hygiene textiles. Consequently, modification of textile materials, especially cellulose fabrics with antimicrobial substances is necessary. The aim of our study was to prepare cellulose fabrics finished by allicin-conjugated nanocellulose. the results showed that The antibacterialactivity after two home laundering cycles of all finished fabrics was only slightly reduced.
