- ItemBuffering and antibacterial properties of cotton canvas with dolomite/ZnO-styrene-acrylic complex coating and their comparison with properties after the accelerated aging(University of Ljubljana, 2017) Křížová Hana; Tuček Viktor; Neoralová Jitka; Wiener JakubIn this study, we report evaluation of buff ering and self-sterilizing coating complex obtained by dolomite and zinc oxide particles incorporation into styrene–acrylic layer applied to cotton fabric. Surface properties of the coating were evaluated by SEM, EDS and 3D optical microscopy. Antimicrobial properties were determined using a mixture of G+ and G- bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus mutans) that was in dynamic contact with canvases for 4-100 hours. Alkalizing - buff er capacity of the surface layer supplied to the system by dolomite was tested by the addition of acetic acid. All these properties were simultaneously tested on the same canvases that have been previously exposed to the so-called hot (105 °C) and wet aging (80 °C, 65% relative humidity). The aging was provided in the climatic test room for 144 hours and the properties of canvases before and after aging were compared and evaluated.
