[0040] Antibacterial performance test: The gel material was pressed into a circular film material with a thickness of 2 mm. It was sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans were used as experimental bacteria.

[0041] The experimental bacteria were activated in an incubator at 37°C for 24 h, then graded diluted and 0.1 mL of 10 7 cfu / mL was evenly coated on the surface of the agar medium, and the circular membrane material was closely attached to the surface of the agar medium, and then cultured in an incubator at 37°C for 24 hours, and finally the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured. The test results are shown in the table below.

[0042]

[0043] Water absorption test. Weigh a certain mass of gel material, soak it in deionized water for 12 hours, take out the gel material, wipe off the surface moisture and weigh it, and calculate the water absorption rate. Water absorption rate = (m1-m0) / m0. m1 is the mass of the gel material after absorbing water. m0 is the mass of the gel material before absorbing water. The test results are shown in the table below.

[0044]

[0045] As can be seen from the above table, the biogel antibacterial materials of Examples 1-4 contain hydrophilic polyethylene glycol molecular chains and quaternary ammonium salt hydrophilic groups, which significantly improve the water absorption rate of the gel material. In addition, the biogel antibacterial material contains quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial groups, so that the biogel antibacterial material exhibits high antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.

[0046] In Comparative Example 1, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether is used as a cross-linking agent to cross-link cellulose. The cross-linked biogel material does not contain hydrophilic polyethylene glycol molecular chains and quaternary ammonium salt hydrophilic groups, has a low water absorption rate, and does not show an inhibition zone diameter for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, and does not have antibacterial properties.

[0047] The biogel material of Comparative Example 2 has not undergone quaternization reaction of chloroalkyl compounds, does not contain quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial groups, and does not show an inhibition zone diameter against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, and has no antibacterial properties.

[0048] Add 5-15g of wormwood essential oil, 0.2g of emulsifier (hydrogenated castor oil polyoxyethylene ether HEL-40), and 5g of biogel antibacterial material to 1L of deionized water, stir for 12h, take out the gel material, wet the paper towel with 70% ethanol aqueous solution, and then wipe the wormwood essential oil remaining on the surface of the gel material, dry the gel material in a blast drying mechanism at 80℃ to remove water, weigh it, and calculate the amount of wormwood essential oil coated by the gel material. The test results are shown in the table below.

[0049]

[0050] Add 5-15g artemisinin essential oil, 0.2g emulsifier (hydrogenated castor oil polyoxyethylene ether HEL-40), and 5g biogel antibacterial material to 1L deionized water, stir for 12h, take out the gel material, wet a paper towel with 70% ethanol aqueous solution, and then wipe the artemisinin essential oil remaining on the surface of the gel material, dry the gel material in a forced air drying mechanism at 80°C to remove water, weigh it, and calculate the amount of artemisinin essential oil coated by the gel material.

[0051]

[0052] After testing, when the dosage of wormwood essential oil was 15g, the coating amount of wormwood essential oil by the biogel antibacterial material reached 0.294-0.575g / g. When the dosage of artemisinin essential oil was 15g, the coating amount of artemisinin essential oil by the biogel antibacterial material reached 0.252-0.480g / g.

[0053] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation methods of the present invention are limited to these. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, without departing from the concept of the present invention, they can also make several simple deductions or substitutions, which should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention determined by the submitted claims.
