Effect of Cu Modified Textile Structures on Antibacterial and Antiviral Protection
Materials (Basel). 2022 Sep 5;15(17):6164. doi: 10.3390/ma15176164.ABSTRACTTextile structures with various bioactive and functional properties are used in many areas of medicine, special clothing, interior textiles, technical goods, etc. We investigated the effect of two different textile woven structures made of 90% polyester with 10% polyamide (PET) and 100% cotton (CO) modified by magnetron sputtering with copper (Cu) on bioactive properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and four viruses and also on the some comfort parameters. PET/Cu and CO/Cu fabrics have strong antibacterial activity against Staphy...
