Antimicrobial Textiles refer to textiles that, through physical or chemical treatment, can effectively inhibit or kill microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) attached to their surfaces. These textiles are widely used in medical, sanitation, clothing, home, and sports fields, as they can reduce microorganism transmission, prevent odor generation, and enhance hygiene levels. The antimicrobial mechanisms of Antimicrobial Textiles are diverse, including the release of antimicrobial ions, destruction of microbial cell membranes, and disruption of microbial metabolic processes. Common antimicrobial treatment methods involve the use of antimicrobial agents (such as silver ions, zinc ions, and quaternary ammonium salts), natural antimicrobial substances (such as tea polyphenols and chitosan), and fiber modification or surface treatment technologies to achieve antimicrobial functionality. With the continuous improvement of peoples hygiene and health requirements and the advancement of antimicrobial technologies, the market demand for Antimicrobial Textiles is growing daily, with broad application prospects in medical protection, sportswear, smart homes, and other fields, making them an important development direction in the textile industry.
