Preparation and characterization of durable antibacterial cellulose biomaterials modified with triazine derivatives

Cellulose fabric was chemically modified with the triazine derivatives containing the multi-cationic benzyl groups. The novel durable antibacterial cellulose biomaterial containing the multi-cationic benzyl groups was prepared. The chemical structure and thermal property of the antibacterial cellulose biomaterial were investigated with FT-IR spectra, nitrogen content analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the thermal stability of the novel antibacterial cellulose was slightly decreased. Physical properties of the novel antibacterial cellulose had not significant change. The novel antibacterial cellulose imparted excellent durable antibacterial properties.
