EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0020] FIG. 1 is the cross section 100 of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric in the present application. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a knitted structure 200 of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric in the present application. Please refer to FIG. 1-FIG. 2, the cross section 100 of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric includes three parts, the front side of cross section 101, the intermediate connection layer 102 and the rear side of cross section 103. The front side of cross section 101 is made of wool type short fiber yarns and is configured to form an outside of knitted clothing. The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 has a special physical structure, such as a clover structure, capable of being inserted into the front side of cross section 101 and the rear side of cross section 103 of the knitted fabric. The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 is used to connect the front side of cross section 101 and the rear side of cross section 103 of the knitted fabric, and is capable of transferring moisture. The rear side of cross section 103 is made of antibacterial filaments.

[0021] The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric is made of filament yarns having a special shape made of antibacterial materials. The special physical structure, such as a clover structure, making the front side of cross section 101 connected with the rear side of cross section 103. The antibacterial materials adopt blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate. The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 has not only a connection function but also an antibacterial and hydrophobic function. The rear side of cross section 103 is made of antibacterial filaments adopting blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate, and can achieve the antibacterial function of the knitted fabric.

[0022] Please refer to FIG. 2, the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric adopts a compound knitting structure with six rows. a first row 201 and a fourth row 204 of the compound knitting structure with six rows 200 consist of the front side of cross section 101, a second row 202 and a fifth row 205 consist of the rear side of cross section 103, and a third row 203 and a sixth row 206 consist of the intermediate connection layer of cross section 102. The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 is used to connect the front side of cross section 101 made of wool short fiber and the rear side of cross section 103 made of antibacterial filaments, so that the knitting fabric not only has the function of natural wool type short fiber, but also has the antibacterial function of filament fiber yarn.

[0023] According to the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric of the present application, the front side of cross section 101 forms an outside of a knitted clothing; the rear side of cross section 103 forms an inside of the knitted clothing; the intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 forms a middle part of the knitted clothing; the intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 is configured to connect the outside and the inside of the knitted clothing and transfer the moisture.

[0024] The traditional antibacterial fabric achieves the effect of antibacterial by using chemicals or adding silver ions, which has an adverse effect on the health of consumers. The antibacterial effect of these methods will not last long. Some antibacterial drugs are added to the treatment of antibacterial fabrics, which can cause a certain degree of pollution to fibers and fabrics, or the cost of raw materials for conventional antimicrobial fabrics is too high, which limits the use of antibacterial fabrics. The biodegradable antibacterial filament yarn proposed by the present application may be one of synthetic filament yarns, natural fibers and chemical fiber blended yarns, and the filament yarns of the intermediate connection layer for transferring moisture may be one of polylactic acid filament yarns and Sirofilspun yarns. Thus the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric proposed by the present application adopting a cross section structure with three layers and antibacterial material has the advantages of low cost, easy manufacturing and long lasting antibacterial effect, and can be applied to ordinary clothing manufacturing, health care fabric, transportation fabric, aerospace fabrics and other fields.

[0025] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the antimicrobial effect of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric in the present application. During the test of the antibacterial effect of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric proposed in the present application, the AATCC100-2012 was used as the antimicrobial resistance test standard, tested using our common bacterial species, and the common bacterial species are used for testing. The Candida albicans (CA), the Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and the Streptococcus pyogenes (SP) are used. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner fabric has an antibacterial effect of over 99% on three common bacteria. Especially antibacterial effect for Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes is better, and is more than 99.97%.
