  • the invention relates to a fiber material with an antimicrobial effect, which comprises fibers made from regenerated cellulose and/or regenerated cellulose derivatives and at least one antimicrobial active ingredient component.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a fiber material with an antimicrobial effect, a fiber material produced by this method and the use of an antimicrobial active component as a means of reducing or preventing odors in textile fiber materials.
  • Antimicrobial fibers, fiber composites, yarns and textile fabrics are known. Numerous publications such as the DE 10 2006 056977 B3 , DE 10 2007 019 768 A1 and DE 10 2008 045 290 A1 Additives made from antimicrobial, particulate, liquid or meltable or vaporizable active ingredients or active ingredient compounds made from metallic nano- or microphases, salts, glasses or modified aluminosilicates or organic biocide active ingredients for wet, dry-wet or dry-spun fibers. These additives are added before or during the shaping process or to finish fibers, yarns or textiles (e.g EP 0 677 989 B1 ).
  • the disadvantageous common feature of fibers, fiber composites, yarns and fabrics functionalized in this way is the insufficient resistance and the resultant worsening or even non-existent effect that is difficult for the user to control, for example due to the active ingredients essential for the function being washed out.
  • cellulose In addition to the textile, paper and building materials industries, cellulose is also used in medicine. The widespread use of cellulose materials, in particular their use for medical applications, has led to the development of cellulose fibers with an antimicrobial finish. The majority of work to date on the production of antimicrobial cellulose has involved the introduction of biocidally acting nano-silver particles on or in the cellulose fibers through various deposition processes (e.g U.S. 8,367,089 B2 and DE 603 05 172 T2 ).
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by a fiber material of the type mentioned in which the active ingredient component comprises metallic silver (Ag) and metallic ruthenium (Ru), silver and ruthenium being in contact with one another and in the cellulose - and/or cellulose derivative - Fibers are embedded and / or at least partially surrounded by them.
  • the fiber material according to the invention comprises regenerated fibers which not only have antimicrobial properties but, surprisingly, also have deodorizing and/or odor-neutralizing properties.
  • the fiber material according to the invention (hereinafter also referred to as “hygiene fibers”) are not based on the release of heavy metal ions or organic biocide active ingredients, but surprisingly still show an antimicrobial effectiveness that clearly exceeds the values required in the relevant standards.
  • the fiber materials according to the invention also have a deodorizing and/or odor-neutralizing effect, which is not only due to the inhibition or killing of microorganisms, but also advantageously to a neutralization (e.g. by degradation or conversion) of organic substances (odorous substances or - molecules) based.

  • the antimicrobial, deodorizing and/or odor-neutralizing properties of the fiber material according to the invention do not depend on the presence or accessibility of the active ingredient component on the surface of the hygiene fibers, but despite the presence in the fiber cross-section of the cellulose - and/or cellulose derivative - fibers introduced active ingredient component with complete and wash-out resistant inclusion in the fiber matrix are fully pronounced.
  • a particular advantage of the fiber material according to the invention is that it has properties that are comparable to those of untreated fiber materials, for example with regard to mechanical stability, durability, dyeability, water absorption/absorbency and processability.
  • the active substance component comprises metallic silver (Ag) and metallic ruthenium (Ru), silver and ruthenium being in electrical contact with one another.
  • Silver and ruthenium have different electrochemical potentials and thus form a galvanic cell (ie a "microgalvanic element"). If this cell is short-circuited via an aqueous phase, a high electric field strength is created due to the small distance (nm or ⁇ m range) between the two metals that are in contact. This contributes significantly to killing germs. Redox reactions take place on both electrodes of the microgalvanic element, each of which leads to the killing of microorganisms.
  • the active ingredient component of silver and ruthenium according to the invention whose antimicrobial effectiveness is not based on the release of biocides or metal ions, but on the catalytically supported generation of oxygen radicals, does not change its composition even with long-term use and, in contrast to biocides or oligodynamic metals, does not require a depot or devices that regulate biocide or metal ion release.
  • the two metals can be applied, for example, as a layer system on the surface of a particulate carrier (carrier material), the layer of one metal lying at least partially over that of the other metal.
  • the respective upper layer can be porous (particularly nanoporous) or microcracked, particularly cluster-shaped, applied to or deposited on the other metal, so that the aqueous solution or moisture has access to both half-cells and the microgalvanic element is short-circuited .
  • the two metals (half elements) can also be applied in the form of individual particles to the surface of a particulate carrier (carrier material).
  • bimetal particles that include both metals and/or metal particles that each include only one of the two metals.
  • the latter can be applied sequentially, i.e. first particles of the first metal and then particles of the second metal (or vice versa), or simultaneously as a mixture of particles of both metals onto a carrier material in such a way that they are in electrically conductive contact.
  • the particles can be applied to the carrier material in a single layer (lying next to one another) and/or at least partially in multiple layers (lying on top of one another).
  • silver and ruthenium are at least partially embedded in particulate form and homogeneously distributed in the cellulose and/or cellulose derivative fibers and/or are at least partially surrounded by them.
  • the homogeneous distribution of individual particles within the fibers or in the fiber cross section ensures a uniform antimicrobial, deodorizing and/or odor-neutralizing effect of the active component within and on the entire surface of the fibers.
  • silver and ruthenium are present at least partially in the form of silver/ruthenium bimetallic particles.
  • the silver/ruthenium bimetallic particles can, for example, comprise silver particles which are partially coated with ruthenium. Additionally or alternatively, the silver/ruthenium bimetallic particles may comprise particles of cellulose and/or cellulose derivatives coated with silver and ruthenium.

  • Ruthenium is a noble metal that has several oxidation states and, due to its different valences, is able to form different ruthenium oxides, for example.
  • Surface redox transitions such as Ru(VIII)/Ru(VI), Ru(VI)/Ru(IV), Ru(IV)/Ru(III) and possibly Ru(III)/Ru(II) are the cause of the high catalytic activity of the ruthenium mixed compounds and their good electrical conductivity. The unusually pronounced catalytic and electrocatalytic properties of the ruthenium compounds depend on the variation of the oxidation states.
  • the antimicrobial effect is, for example, particularly high in the case of active substance components according to the invention which comprise ruthenium(VI) oxide in the first half element.
  • active substance components according to the invention which comprise ruthenium(VI) oxide in the first half element.
  • the high catalytic activity of such half-elements for the reduction of oxygen can be attributed to the easy change in the oxidation state and the easy exchange of oxygen, which preferably take place at the active centers of the semiconductor surface.
  • the ruthenium is only changed in terms of its value, which causes the actual redox reaction to occur. Therefore, no ruthenium compound is consumed or formed, only the oxidation states are changed.
  • the ruthenium compound binds the molecular oxygen, allowing it to be catalytically reduced. Therefore, the presence of several valences is a prerequisite for the catalytic effect and the redox reaction.
  • the active ingredient component can, for example, in addition to metallic ruthenium and metallic silver, also contain a semiconducting, catalytically active ruthenium oxide or ruthenium sulfide (half element I of the galvanic element) and a semiconducting, poorly soluble silver compound (silver oxide, silver hydroxide, silver sulfide, silver-halogen compounds or combinations from it; half-element II of the galvanic element).
  • the fiber material according to the invention can be used, for example, in the form of antimicrobial fibers as a component of fiber composites, yarns and/or textile fabrics (hygiene fiber composites, hygiene yarns or textile hygiene fabrics), so that they have antimicrobial, deodorizing and odor-neutralizing properties that last over their entire textile life cycle.
  • the antimicrobial active ingredient component is therefore added during fiber production, for example in the lyocell, viscose or carbamate process.
  • the effect of this is that the active substance component or silver and ruthenium can be completely embedded in the fibers and/or is at least partially surrounded or entwined by them.
  • the addition of the silver-ruthenium active substance component did not result in a reduction in the on-set temperature or any other disadvantageous impairment of the production process. In this way, the fiber production could be carried out on the standard systems and with the standard processes without any loss of quality, even with the addition of this active ingredient component.
  • the antimicrobial, deodorizing and/or odor-neutralizing effect of the fiber material produced according to the invention which is produced, for example, using the dry-wet spinning process and is already provided with particulate, liquid or meltable or vaporizable active ingredient components during the shaping process, not based on the release of heavy metal ions or organic biocide active substances and nevertheless shows an antimicrobial effectiveness that clearly exceeds the values required in the relevant standards.

  • the carrier material can comprise cellulose and/or at least one cellulose derivative.
  • an antimicrobial fiber material can advantageously be produced using the method according to the invention with such a cellulose-silver-ruthenium particle variant of the active component using lyocell technology, since the cellulose-silver-ruthenium particles, despite their catalytic activity, have no negative have an influence on the decomposition temperature (on-set temperature) of the solvent N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) used in the lyocell process and can therefore be processed in the lyocell process.
  • NMMO solvent N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide
  • the carrier material cellulose dissolves in the NMMO and releases the silver-ruthenium particles deposited on the carrier material evenly distributed in the cellulose-containing solvent, so that antimicrobial regenerated Lyocell fibers for the textile industry, but also for nonwovens ( Non-wovens) and other technical applications such as foils, e.g. B. for packaging can be produced.
