Copper ion antibacterial fiber

The copper antibacterial fiber, discovered in the late 20th century, is a new type of fiber that utilizes the antibacterial properties of copper. It is mainly used in textiles and clothing materials to inhibit the growth of bacteria and improve hygiene.

This fiber, made primarily from polyester, is blended with copper during the manufacturing process. The resulting fiber not only maintains the characteristics of polyester but also acquires the antibacterial property of copper.

The antibacterial mechanism of copper fiber is mainly to destroy the cell membrane of bacteria through contact with copper ions, thus inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It has been found that copper fiber can effectively kill more than 99% of common pathogenic bacteria in the environment, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

In addition to its antibacterial function, copper fiber also maintains the original features of polyester fiber, such as high strength, elasticity, temperature resistance, and moisture absorption. These features make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including clothing, home furnishing, medical care, and so on.

The discovery of copper antibacterial fiber not only provides a new solution for controlling the spread of bacteria but also opens up new possibilities for the development of functional fibers.In addition to its antibacterial properties, copper fiber also has other advantages. For example, it is durable and can be used for a long time without significant loss of antibacterial function. It is also safe for the human body, and copper is a trace element necessary for human health. Therefore, copper fiber can also bring health benefits to the human body.

In general, copper antibacterial fiber is a very excellent functional fiber with good antibacterial performance and high practical value. It has broad application prospects in the fields of textiles, clothing, home furnishing, medical care, etc. With the improvement of people's living standards and the change of consumers' consumption concepts, the demand for copper antibacterial fiber will continue to increase. Therefore, it is expected that copper antibacterial fiber will become one of the hot spots in the development of functional fibers in the future.
