Abstract (en)

The antimicrobial fabric incorporating copper is manufactured with yarns of natural or synthetic origin, which incorporate copper wire, already existing in the market, not requiring extra elaboration, produced on a chain stitch cord knitting machine or a twisting machine. The thread thickness and density of the produced fabric in terms of picks or courses per 10 cm, determine the weight, the quality and designate the end use. The advantage of this fabric, where no chemical method or mechanical depositing of copper oxide particles is used, is the retaining of antimicrobial properties regardless of repeated washing, cleaning or ironing processes during its use, as well as low production cost.
