Copper Alginate-Cotton Cellulose (CACC) Fibers with Excellent Antibacterial Properties

The present work describes synthesis of copper alginate-cotton cellulose (CACC) composite fibers and detailed investigation of antimicrobial action against the model bacteria E.coli. The CACC fibers were prepared by immersing cotton fibers in aqueous solution of sodium alginate, followed by ionic cr...
