ABSTRACT
A novel eco-friendly production of silk fibroin-grafted carboxylic cotton fabrics without using any crosslinking agents was developed via the reaction of silk fibroin with oxidized cotton. The effect of reaction parameters on mechanical properties of oxidized fabrics and graft add-on of silk fibroin in grafted fabrics was examined. The results showed that appropriate oxidation time of HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2 mixture and grafting time of fibroin were 45min and 2h respectively. FTIR analysis of grafted sample indicated that the CN amido bond was generated through the reaction between primary amines in silk fibroin and carboxyl groups in oxidized cotton, which was further confirmed by XPS spectra. The grafted fabrics were also evaluated for physical properties like tensile strength, wrinkle recovery angle, moisture regain and yellowness index. Cactus flavonoid coated on grafted fabric through treatment with flavonoid extract of cactus, such treated fabric exhibited a highly inhibitory effect against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria.
