May 6, 2014 by Admin Leave a Comment

  • Pathogens are found to die in 10 minutes of coming into contact of the fabric, study by RMIT university in Australia establishes.
  • Silver metal has anti-microbial and antibacterial properties and releases silver ions when it comes to contact with the body fluids.
  • New material called silver TCNQ releases these silver ions quite slowly so the antibacterial effect stays for long
  • Potential applications of this fabric include bandaids and wound dressings, surgical gowns and bed sheets as means to reduce hospital-acquired infections.
