  Abstract

Chitosan nonwoven fabric (CNF) was treated with silk sericin (SS) in order to introduce deodorant ability. CNF was activated with glutaraldehyde followed by reaction with SS. The attachment of SS onto the surface of chitosan fibers was confirmed with ATRFTIR, FE-SEM and elementary analysis. It was found that about 81.18 mg of SS can be attached per gram of CNF after 3 hrs of reaction. The introduction of SS improved the deodorant ability of CNF by removing 89.0 % of NH3 gas, which was about 1.4 times of that of neat CNF. More interestingly, the antimicrobial effect of CNF was also enhanced after SS treatment.
