Anti-static Antibacterial Activity Of Silver-plated Fabric And Radiation

With the development of science and improvement of living, people are not satisfied with the basic property of textiles such as protecting them from bad environment. Recently, people pay more attention on functional textiles'development and research with constantly emergence of new technology and new materials. As a high-performance functional fiber, silver-coated fiber has attracted people's attention with its unique functions such as anti-bacteria and anti-odor, anti-electromagnetic radiation, anti-static and thermal regulation. Now silver-coated fiber has been applied to functional textiles and it has broad prospects.In this study, multifunctional fabric with properties of anti-bacteria, anti-radiation and anti-static is designed using silver-coated fiber. And properties of multifunctional fabric are researched. The innovative point of the study is designing and weaving multifunctional yarns and fabric with silver-coated fiber. It is found that fabrics containing more silver-coated fiber, the better antistatic properties are. Small percentage of silver-coated fiber, around 0.231%, is enough for the antistatic property of working wears according with the regulation of national standard. Only forming closed shielding mesh silver-coated fiber fabric has shielding property. And fabric density has significant effect on fabric's shielding property. The higher fabric density, the better shielding property is. But higher fabric density is meaningless. Content of silver-coated fiber has great effect on fabric's antibacterial property. Fabric containing more silver-coated fiber, the better antibacterial properties is. Small percentage of silver-coated fiber, about 2%, is enough for the antibacterial property.
