| dc.description.abstract | Much academic and industrial research has been done to develop antimicrobial finishes on cotton fabric. It covers from chemical finishing to coating to plasma. This dissertation explores the influence of the incorporation of plasma in a newly developed Sol-Gel method on antimicrobial finish on cotton fabric. Cotton fabric was first treated with atmospheric pressure plasma. The fabric is then subjected to silica-sol in conjunction with the AgNO3solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze chemical and morphological changes on the surface of fabric. The durability of the Ag+ ion particles on repeated laundered of cotton fabric was proven by antibacterial tests. Maximum resistance from the bacterium can be attained by the process for a long period of time. | en_US |
