  Abstract

Antibacterial finishing of textile materials using natural resources is now a trend due to the growing concerns about infectious diseases caused by microorganisms. In this study, antibacterial finishing has been applied to cotton fabric using red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel extracts through microencapsulation technique using the pad-dry-cure method as well as direct application with pre-mordanting and cross-linking. The antibacterial activity of the developed cotton fabric samples was assessed against a Gram-positive and a Gram-negative bacterium. The samples treated with microcapsules showed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli even after being subjected to several washing cycles which is almost identical with the sample prepared through direct application with cross-linking. However, the samples prepared with pre-mordanting showed moderate antibacterial activity against the bacterium. Experimental data ensured that the microcapsule-treated fabric sample was durable. Topographical and elemental analyses of the samples were done using a Field Emission Scanning Electron microscope, and the chemical compound and chemical bonding was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy.
