It is a new type of fabric produced through complex processes including dyeing, napping, penetration printing, hot stamping, lamination, sand washing, thickening and bonding, and drying. However, existing technical fabrics, when used as sofa upholstery, are prone to bacterial and microbial growth, especially in dark, indoor environments, which can negatively impact users over time. Therefore, developing a technical fabric that inhibits microbial growth is a key challenge. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] Combination Figure 1 This embodiment provides a detailed description of a fabric for inhibiting microbial growth, comprising a base fabric layer 1 and an antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2. Specifically, the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2 is a lysine-modified waterborne polyurethane.
[0021] The base fabric layer 1 includes a bottom comb and a top comb. The yarn used in the bottom comb is antibacterial ultrafine polyester filament, and the yarn used in the top comb is antibacterial nylon 6 filament. The padding yarn number of the top comb is 10 / 23 / / , and the padding yarn number of the bottom comb is 10 / 12 / / . The fineness of the antibacterial nylon filament is 75D / 144F, and the fineness of the antibacterial polyester filament is 54D / 24F.
[0022] The base fabric layer 1 has nap 3 formed by napping on one side of the surface that resembles a comb. The nap 3 extends into the interior of the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2, which can improve the bonding strength between the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2 and the base fabric layer 1.
[0023] The base fabric layer 1, on the side away from the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2, is laminated with a planar triaxial fabric 4; specifically, it is laminated using an EVA hot melt adhesive web. This is because the base fabric layer 1 of the technical fabric is warp-knitted, resulting in poor dimensional stability. The use of the planar triaxial fabric 4 can improve the dimensional stability of the technical fabric involved in this embodiment.
[0024] The planar triaxial fabric 4 is composed of three sets of antibacterial core-spun yarns interwoven at a 60° angle. The antibacterial core-spun yarn includes a core yarn and an antibacterial fiber layer covering the outside of the core yarn. Most woven fabrics are interwoven from yarns in two mutually perpendicular directions. When the fabric is subjected to a tensile force at a 45° angle to the warp or weft yarn, the tensile modulus of the woven fabric differs significantly from that when subjected to warp or weft tensile forces. However, triaxial fabrics, due to having three systems of yarns interwoven at a 60° angle, achieve isotropic properties. That is, regardless of the direction of stress, the deformation of the triaxial fabric is uniform in all directions. Therefore, triaxial fabrics do not have the weak points in shear and tensile strength found in two-dimensional fabrics. Furthermore, when subjected to impact, the deformation of the triaxial fabric exhibits uniform and equal strain. In this embodiment, a planar triaxial fabric with a basic structure is used.
[0025] The antibacterial fibers, antibacterial ultrafine polyester filaments, antibacterial nylon filaments, and antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating used all have the effect of killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. This gives the fabric its ability to resist microbial growth.
[0026] Furthermore, the core yarn is either hemp fiber yarn or Apocynum venetum fiber yarn; in this embodiment, hemp fiber yarn is selected. Hemp has a stable molecular structure, good molecular orientation, and good moisture absorption capacity. In addition, its slender cavity is rich in oxygen, making it impossible for anaerobic bacteria that can only survive under anaerobic conditions to survive. Moreover, hemp fiber contains cannabinoids, and scientific experiments have confirmed that cannabinoids have significant killing and inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Therefore, hemp has natural antibacterial, insect-repellent, moth-repellent, and deodorizing effects.
[0027] The antibacterial fiber layer uses silver fiber, bamboo fiber, chitin fiber, or alginate fiber. In this embodiment, chitin fiber is selected. Chitin fiber has natural antibacterial and deodorizing functions, and its antibacterial rate against harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans can reach 99%. In chitin fiber, the amino groups in the chitosan molecules are converted into ammonium salts, which adsorb negatively charged bacteria, destroy their cell walls, and thus inhibit their development. Chitosan decomposes into low-molecular-weight substances, which, after adsorbing bacteria, penetrate the microbial cell wall and enter the cell to form a stable complex with DNA, interfering with the action of DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase, hindering the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and thus inhibiting bacterial reproduction.
[0028] The antibacterial effect of the fabric involved in this embodiment was tested, and the inhibition rate against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and other bacteria can reach more than 95%.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Combination Figure 2 This embodiment will be described in detail below. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the planar triaxial fabric 4, which inhibits microbial growth, has an antibacterial film 5 laminated on the surface away from the base fabric layer 1. The antibacterial film 5 includes a waterproof membrane and nano-antibacterial particles sputtered onto the surface of the waterproof membrane using vacuum deposition technology. The nano-antibacterial particles are nano-silver or nano-zinc oxide. In this embodiment, nano-zinc oxide is selected.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] Combination Figure 3 This embodiment will be described in detail below. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Two lies in that the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2 has a carbon silver film 6 hot-stamped on the side of the coating away from the base fabric layer 1. The carbon silver film 6 refers to PU resin with added carbon powder and silver powder, which is hot-stamped onto the surface of the antibacterial waterborne polyurethane coating 2 using an OPP transfer film according to a predetermined pattern. The pattern can be honeycomb-shaped.
[0033] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
