The present disclosure relates to modified textile material, wherein the modification is carried out by treating textile material with Hydroxyapatite. Such modified textile materials show bacterio-repulsion by preventing bacteria from attaching to their surfaces, thereby preventing malodor formation. The present disclosure also relates to process for obtaining the modified textile material as well as use of Hydroxyapatite as a bacterial repellent agent for preparing odor free textile material.

Antimicrobial chemical compositions comprise an aluminum phosphate (AlP) solid dispersed within a binding polymer, wherein one or more bioactive materials are disposed within AlP forming a bioactive-AlP complex. The complex may comprise the bioactive material chemically bonded with the AlP, physically combined with the AlP, or a combination of both. The complex may be formed according to precipitation, condensation and sol-gel methods of forming. The complex is engineered to provide a controlled delivery of the bioactive material or a constituent thereof upon exposure to moisture to give a desired level of antimicrobial resistance to a film or composite formed from the composition of at least about 30 μg/m.sup.2, and may also provide a desired degree of corrosion resistance through the release of passivating phosphate anion. Such antimicrobial chemical compositions provide an improved degree of active, long-term resistance to a broad range of micro-organisms when compared to known antimicrobial chemical compositions.
