A manufacturing method for an antibacterial fiber includes the following steps. A dipping step is performed to soak a conductive fiber in a solution, in which the solution includes an ionic compound, and the ionic compound includes a metal cation. An oxidation step is performed by using the conductive fiber as an anode, such that an antibacterial material produced by the solution is adhered to a surface of the conductive fiber, in which the antibacterial material includes a metal oxide.

This invention provides a silver ion coated product, such as a denture and a restoration object for body deficiency, which can realize an antimicrobial coating capable of exhibiting persistent antimicrobial properties, antifouling properties, and deodorant properties. Silver ions are coated onto a target object (3) by microwave irradiation in such a state that the target object (3) is immersed in a container (2) containing an silver ion solution (1), or the target object (3) has been spray coated by a sprayer (12) containing the silver ion solution (1). Previous plasma ion coating onto the target object is also preferred. For example, silver ion coating treatment of the target object subjected to DLC coating is carried out.

A composition for treating a textile fabric to impart an odor control property is provided. The composition has a synergistic effect on controlling odor of a textile fabric for an extended number of home launderings. The composition comprises a urethane based binder dispersion or a urethane precursor in addition to a metal oxide. The composition comprises a blocked isocyanate binder and a metal oxide.

Provided are materials having antimicrobial properties. The materials include a polymer having incorporated therein a synergistic combination of at least two metal oxide powders, including a mixed oxidation state oxide of a first metal and a single oxidation state oxide of a second metal. The powders may be incorporated substantially uniformly within the polymer. Further, the powders may have substantially different specific gravities and substantially similar bulk densities. In addition, the ions of the metal powders may be in ionic contact upon exposure of the material to moisture. Also provided are methods for the preparation of the materials and uses thereof, including in combating or inhibiting the activity of microbes or microorganisms.
