Preparation and Properties of Lignin-containing Antibacterial Fibers by In-situ Bonding Method
In this study,cationic starch was used to adjust the surface negative charge of lignin and bleached kraft softwood pulp fiber to achieve their in-situ binding with high efficiency,and successfully prepared lignin submicron particles-containing antibacterial fiber. The antibacterial fiber was completely prepared from renewable and degradable raw materials by simple method,with the lignin retention rate more than 92%,and the lignin deposition rate on fiber could reach up to 27.9%. The antibacterial measurement showed that antibacterial fi-ber had broad-spectrum antibacterial effect. When the concentration of antibacterial fiber (calculateed by Lignin)in the bacteria solution was 2 mg/mL,the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was 71.2%,86.0% and 89.2%,respectively.
