Abstract
This paper presents the method of obtaining poly(propylene) (PP) nonwoven fabrics with antimicrobial properties, using Alafosfalin as the nonwoven modifying agent. Alafosfalin, namely L-alanyl-L-1-aminoethylphosphonic acid, presents representative P-terminal phosphonodipeptide, which possesses a strong, broad spectrum of antimicrobial properties. The analysis of these biofunctionalized nonwoven fabrics processed by the melt-blown technique, included: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV/Vis transmittance, FTIR spectrometry, and air permeability. The nonwovens were subjected to microbial activity tests against colonies of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. Results indicate that the described nonwovens can be successfully used as an antibacterial material.
