Abstract

In order to obtain cationic surface charge, cotton fabrics pretreated with 2.5% CA+1% SHP by padding method. The coated cotton fabrics were examined by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and antibacterial zone diameters after repeated washings. When assessed for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion test method, the copper(I)oxide
