[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 Images were acquired using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, model JEOL JSM-7800F) with an accelerating voltage of 5 kV, a working distance of approximately 8 mm, and a secondary electron probe (SEI mode). The sample surface was treated with metal sputtering (such as Pt or Au) to enhance conductivity. The image resolution reached several nanometers, and the scale bar was set to 2 μm. This parameter setting clearly revealed the distribution characteristics of microcracks (depth 0.2–0.5 μm) and nanoscale zeolite particles (particle size ≤100 nm) on the fiber surface.

[0030] Figure 2Images were acquired using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM, model FEITecnaiG2F30) with an accelerating voltage of 300 kV and a point resolution better than 0.2 nm. Samples were prepared by ultrathin sectioning (approximately 70 nm thick) and resin embedding. The zeolite-fiber interface section was then examined using focused ion beam (FIB). The images clearly show the embedding depth of zeolite particles within the fibers at approximately 1.0 μm, revealing a microcrack structure, which helps to elucidate the composite interface bonding mechanism and structural stability. The image scale bar was set to 100 nm.

[0121] Comparative Example 7

[0122] Purchase commercially available antibacterial fabrics.

[0123] Performance tests were conducted on the products of the examples and comparative examples. The test items included Staphylococcus aureus inhibition rate (%), Escherichia coli inhibition rate (%), dust mite repellency rate (%), and cell survival rate (%). The specific test results are detailed in Table 1.

[0124] Table 1

[0125]

[0126] The test results show that the antibacterial performance of the embodiment is significantly better than that of the comparative example. This is because in the process of the present invention, the zeolite micropores adsorb microorganisms through capillary action, and the amino groups on their surface form an ionic bond network with the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, continuously releasing cations to destroy the microbial cell membrane.

[0127] In Example 2, the inhibition rates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using modified zeolite powder were significantly higher than those in Comparative Example 2, which used unmodified natural zeolite powder. This is because the modified zeolite powder has an aminated surface, which allows it to better bind with carboxymethyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, forming a stable ionic bond network and enhancing the antibacterial effect.

[0128] Example 2, which added carboxymethyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, showed a significantly higher antibacterial rate than Comparative Example 5, which did not add carboxymethyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salt. This indicates that carboxymethyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salt plays an important role in the antibacterial process, and the cations it releases can effectively destroy the cell membrane of microorganisms.

[0129] The dust mite repellency rate of the embodiment was significantly higher than that of the comparative example because the hot-pressing-rapid cooling process creates a specific roughness (Ra=0.8-1.2μm) on the fabric surface, which destroys the attachment structure of the mite's feet.

[0130] Example 2, which uses a hot-press-rapid cooling process, shows a significantly higher dust mite repellency rate than Comparative Example 6, which uses conventional heat setting. This is because the specific roughness and microcrack structure created by the hot-press-rapid cooling process effectively disrupts the attachment and nerve conduction of mites.

[0131] Example 2, which underwent rapid cooling and curing, showed a higher dust mite repellency rate than Comparative Example 3, which did not undergo rapid cooling and curing. This indicates that the microcrack structure induced by rapid cooling and curing has a significant impact on the mite-inhibiting performance. The microcracks increase the specific surface area, and the aggregated cations can better interfere with the nerve conduction of mites.

[0132] The antibacterial rates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in Example 2 were significantly higher than those in Comparative Example 7, and the dust mite repellency rate was also significantly higher. This indicates that the fabric prepared by the processing technology of this invention is superior to commercially available ordinary antibacterial fabrics in both antibacterial and anti-mite properties.

[0133] As can be seen from the above test results and analysis, the processing technology of the present invention, through the synergistic effect of pretreatment, coating of specific regulators, step-by-step hot pressing activation, and rapid cooling curing, enables the prepared fabric to have excellent antibacterial and anti-mite properties.

[0134] In terms of antibacterial properties, the zeolite micropores adsorb microorganisms and form an ionic bond network with chitosan quaternary ammonium salt to continuously release cations that destroy microbial cell membranes. The microcracks induced by rapid cooling increase the specific surface area and enhance physical adsorption. These mechanisms work together to make the antibacterial effect significantly better than the comparative sample and commercially available fabrics, demonstrating innovation.

[0135] The mite-inhibiting property was obtained unexpectedly. The specific roughness and microcrack structure formed by the hot-pressing-rapid-cooling process, as well as the cations aggregated within the microcracks, together achieved a good mite-inhibiting effect. This property is difficult to achieve in traditional processes and commercially available fabrics, further proving the inventiveness of this invention.

[0136] Meanwhile, the cell survival rate in each embodiment is above the standard, indicating that the fabric is highly safe for the human body.

[0137] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
