ABSTRACT

The micro-organisms deposit themselves and multiply on our bodies and on textile materials in contact with our skin. Various types of bacteria, fungi and viruses are present in the environment of our every day life. Under suitable conditions, the multiplication of microorganisms in textiles can create staining, discolouration, degradation of the fibres, materials and the generation of foul odours. Hence, this article relates to study the effect of Anti-microbial functional finish when applied to selected wool and wool blend materials to achieve specific properties and purpose.
