Antibacterial and Rechargeable Surface Functional Nanofiber Membrane for Healthcare Textile Application

Abctract: Nosocomial cross infection (NCI) threaten human health seriously, cause enormous economic loss. There is a critical need   for new healthcare textiles to prevent NCI. Herein, a polymer modified nanoscale porous membrane was prepared by   surface graft polymerization. The membrane had excellent antibacterial activity, and the antibacterial activity could be recharged through a simple method. And, the membrane had a high filtration rate against bacteria. Excellent antibacterial activity and high filtration rate making the membrane could protect the users from direct and indirect contact with pathogenic, prevent the diseases spread with the help of textiles. The successful preparation of anti-NCI membrane also   provides a universal method for exploring the nanoscale porous membrane materias as healthcare textiles to block NCI in hospital.
