Characteristics of chitosan fiber and their effects towards improvement of antibacterial activity

Jianhui Li et al.

Summary: In this study, we characterized and analyzed eight types of chitosan fibers in terms of their composition, surface morphology, and mechanical properties. We also investigated the antibacterial activity of these fibers against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, and examined the relationship between antibacterial activity and the molecular weight and degree of deacetylation. Additionally, we determined the antibacterial mechanism of chitosan fibers. The findings provide insights into the properties of chitosan fibers and offer effective strategies for enhancing their antibacterial activity and applications in antibacterial textiles.
