International ClassD02G003/00AbstractThe present invention provides a yarn with antimicrobial effects. The antimicrobial antifungal effect of the yarn is derived from nanosilver particles (diameter between 1 and 100 nm) which are adhered to the yarn. The yarn contains fibers which are made of cotton, linen, silk, wool, leather, blending fabric, synthetic fiber, or any combination thereof. The yarn can be used to make cloth to be used particularly for treating patients with burns or wound. The cloth made from the antimicrobial yarn can be further used to make clothes such as underwears, socks, shoe cushions, shoe linings, bed sheets, pillow cases, towels, women hygiene products, laboratory coats, and medical robes. The present invention also provides a method for making the antimicrobial yarn.Field of SearchElemental metal is Group IB (Cu, Ag, Au)Elemental metal is Ag Metal-depositing composition contains elemental metal of Group IB (Cu, Ag, Au) Elemental metal is Ag Coating repellent Contains fireproofing or biocidal agent Coating or impregnation functions biologically (e.g., insect repellent, antiseptic, insecticide, bactericide, etc.) Inhibits mildew Needled nonwoven fabric Containing at least two chemically different strand or fiber materials Containing inorganic and polymeric strand or fiber materials Containing polymeric and natural strand or fiber materials With coating or impregnation Including textile, cloth or fabric RESISTANT AGAINST PLANT OR ANIMAL ATTACK Coated or impregnated | |
