  Abstract

To solve issues related to hypertrophic scars, such as the risk of bacterial infections, due to the wearing of compression garments for extended periods of time, we prepared an antibacterial compression garment fabric (CGF) with a graphene oxide (GO)/chitosan (CS) composite. First, the GO/CS composite was prepared and used as an antibacterial agent for antibacterial finishing of the CGF. Then, silane coupling agent 款-(methacryloxy) propyl trimethoxysilane (KH570) was used to modify the GO/CS-finished CGF to improve the washing fastness properties of the antibacterial fabric. Finally, the durability, physical properties, and biological safety of the antibacterial finished fabrics were studied. We found that the GO/ CS composite was successfully synthesized, and the antibacterial finished fabrics were endowed with antibacterial activity against both gram-negative bacteria Esherichia coli (E. coli, AATCC 6538) and gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, AATCC 25922), with bacteriostatic rates of 92.09 % and 99.33 %, respectively. Moreover, the durability of the finished fabric was effectively improved by KH570 treatment. One disadvantage was that the comfort of the antibacterial finished fabric was affected to a certain extent; however, biological experiments showed that the CGF finished by GO/CS/ KH570 showed no potential cytotoxicity on the human body and did not cause skin irritation. The prepared antibacterial finished CGF based on the GO/CS/KH570 composite could effectively reduce the bacterial infection rates of patients wearing compression garments, which could significantly alleviate patient suffering.
