Footwear, especially those often and intensively used, provides an ideal environment for microbial growth. An appropriate high temperature and moisture content inside it enhance bacterial and fungal colonization by microbes. These microorganisms can be potentially pathogenic to human health and responsible for destruction of shoes materials from which the parts inside the shoe are made. In previous studies it has been shown that the addition of essential oils of antiseptic activity at leather finishing operations allows a leather to get antimicrobial properties. The aim of this paper is to assess the durability of antimicrobial effect of leather fatliquored with the addition of cinnamon, thyme and oregano essential oils at concentration of 5% per leather weight. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated according to guidelines of PN-EN ISO 20645:2006 “Textile fabrics – determination of antibacterial activity – Agar diffusion plate test” after 36-month storage. The obtained results have indicated that leathers under investigations show antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans strains even 3 years after fatliquoring. The use of natural bioactive substances such as cinnamon, thyme and oregano oils at concentration of 5% per leather weight in the leather finishing process may be an alternative to biocides used in the tanning industry as well it can improve hygienic properties of shoes, internal parts of which are made of such finished leathers.

This article considers the development of a new polymeric composition on the basis of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, silver ion solution and benzoic acid for the antimicrobial finishing of cotton fabrics. The advantages of the application of a new composition on the basis of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, silver ion solution and benzoic acid include the availability of the material’s use, as well as the simplicity of the technological process: finishing may be performed with any tenter drier aggregated with a padding machine and combining the drying process and thermal treatment. The newly developed efficient composite formulation for biocidal finishing of cotton fabrics is comparatively inexpensive, environmentally safe, and resistant to wet treatment. Its application offers opportunities of manufacturing of a wide range of competitive, environmentally compatible, and biologically stable cellulose textiles with various textures and various fabric weights. As a result of the study it has been found out that cotton fabrics finished with the composition on the basis of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, silver ion solution and benzoic acid have advanced antimicrobial characteristics preventing fouling with mould fungi and are not deteriorated by microorganisms under operational conditions.

W artykule rozważono opracowanie nowej polimerowej kompozycji opartej na poliwinylo pyrolidonie, roztworze jonów srebra i kwasie benzoesowym w celu uzyskania antymikrobowej preparacji tkanin bawełnianych. Korzyścią zastosowania nowej preparacji jest dostępność składników kompozycji jak i prostota technologicznego procesu nanoszenia za pomocą ogólnie dostępnych urządzeń laboratoryjnych. Opracowana preparacja jest stosunkowo tania, nie stwarza niebezpieczeństwa dla środowiska i jest odporna na mokrą obróbkę. Zastosowanie oferuje możliwości produkcji szerokiego spektrum biologicznie stabilnych, przyjaznych środowisku materiałów celulozowych o różnej strukturze i różnych masach powierzchniowych, impregnowane tkaniny nie ulegają deterioracji przez mikroorganizmy w warunkach normalnego użytkowania.

Comparative studies on the efficiency of anchor molecules for the finishing of cotton with chitosan are presented. Four different anchors were used: cyanuric chloride (CNC), butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and sodium hydroxydichlorotriazine (Na-HDCT). Two types of chitosan with different molecular weights were used. The type of anchor used for fixation of chitosan on cotton fabric had a distinct effect on the antimicrobial efficiency of chitosan. By using increasing the concentration of anchor chemicals, the ability of chitosan to inhibit the growth of bacteria increased. Using GPTMS as an anchor for chitosan improved the ion binding capacity for Cu2+-ions more than other anchors. The highest colour strength was achieved when using a low amount of anchors from the chlorotriazine system (up to K/S 3.3), whereas carboxylic or trialkoxysilane anchors at the same ratio of anchoring chemical to glucose units achieved comparatively low K/S values. The polyelectrolyte values of treated cotton fabric were also measured. SEM was used to investigate the surface morphology of the treated cotton fabric samples.
