Investigation on the effect of chitosan concentration on the antibacterial properties and color deviation of cotton fabric
This study aims to determine the optimal chitosan concentration and antibacterial finishing solution to achieve effective antibacterial performance while maintaining the color quality and softness of cotton fabric, by applying chitosan to cotton fabric using the padding method during the finishing process. The experiment was conducted under the same finishing technological conditions (temperature, time), with variations in chitosan concentration, the volume ratio of finishing solution to chitosan solution, and the concentration of the antibacterial finishing solution. After finishing treatment, the antibacterial activity of the fabric was evaluated using the agar diffusion method, and the color change was assessed by two methods: lightbox and L,a,b measurements. The survey results showed that the optimal chitosan solution concentration for antibacterial activity on cotton fabric is 5%, the ratio of the finishing solution to chitosan solution is 1:3, and the concentration of the antibacterial finishing solution is 30 g/l. Finally, the fabric samples were evaluated for antibacterial performance using the AATCC 100 method with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 11296. The results indicated that the cotton fabric treated with chitosan antibacterial finishing achieved higher antibacterial effectiveness than the control fabric sample.

Synthesis silver nanoparticles in chitosan by γ-irradiation for antimicrobial applications
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) with concentration of 2 mM/L and particle size from 7–9 nm were synthesized by -irradiating Ag+ in aqueous solution in the presence of chitosan as stabilising agent, with different chitosan concentration of 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 2.0 %. Incorporation of AgNP/chitosan onto cotton fabric was carried out by padding method. The content of AgNP on cotton fabric released from cotton fabric after washing was determined by inductively couple plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The results showed that cotton/AgNP fabric with 0.5 % - 1.0 % chitosan was the best one of AgNP adhesion ability on cotton fabric. Antibacterial activity against Saureus indicated that cotton/AgNP fabric with AgNP content more than 100 mg/kg exhibited highly antibacterial activity (η > 98%). Thus, the resultant cotton/AgNPs fabric with highly antibacterial activity can be potentially used as bed drapes and/or patient uniforms in hospitals, etc.
