The thermal stability and photo-bactericidal effect of several tetra-cationic porphyrins and their zinc ion compounds immobilized onto cellulosic fabrics were compared against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli using a 100 W tungsten lamp. The immobilization of various concentrations of these photosensitizers onto cellulosic fabrics exhibited remarkable photo-stability, thermal stability, and antimicrobial activity against the studied strains.
The thermal stability and photo-bactericidal effect of several tetra-cationic porphyrins and their zinc ion compounds immobilized onto cellulosic fabrics against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli were investigated and compared using a 100 W tungsten lamp. Immobilization of various concentrations of these photosensitizers onto cellulosic fabrics was carried out and characterized by ATR-FT-IR, DRS, TGA, and SEM. Applied cellulosic fabrics with the photosensitizers exhibited remarkable photo-stability, thermal stability, and antimicrobial activity against these studied strains.
