Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to produce a substance, which could be used as an antibacterial agent in textiles, from petroleum sub-products in order to extend the use of petroleum and petroleum sub-products in textiles. For this aim, complex compounds with copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, and sodium, were produced. Then, those compounds were applied onto cotton fabric by padding process, and their antibacterial activities were evaluated according to the AATCC 147 agar diffusion test method. As a result of the trials, it was determined that best results were obtained against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with copper mono carboxylate. Its activity was still present against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after 3 washings and against Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae after 10 washings.
