In order to solve the problem of poor compatibility between modified-ZIF-8 nanoparticles and mask matrix polypropylene (PP) and melt-blown materials, in this work, PP based modified-ZIF-8 antibacterial masterbatch was prepared employing surface modification and torque blending method. IR, SEM, XRD, XPS, DSC results confirm that the antibacterial masterbatch maintains the chemical and crystal structure of modified-ZIF-8 and the thermal stability of PP. Photocatalytic performance indicates that the antibacterial masterbatch basically maintains the photoresponse range of modified-ZIF-8, has narrower band gap and the superior photocatalytic performance than that of modified-ZIF-8. The photocatalytic antibacterial mechanism of ·O 2 − and h + as antibacterial active species is revealed according to the energy band structure and free radical capture experiment. The photocatalytic antibacterial activity of the antibacterial masterbatch against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli under different dosage holds that the relationship between antibacterial rate and antibacterial agent concentration conforms to Beta distribution, demonstrating second-order kinetic behavior. The antibacterial properties reach the maximum when the loading of modified-ZIF-8 is 2% of the total weight of PP and melt-blown materials. S. aureus and E. coli could be completely killed when the simulated sunlight is irradiated for 30 min. These results indicate that PP based modified-ZIF-8 antibacterial masterbatch has potential application in photocatalytic antibacterial masks.
Much attention has been paid to compound a ZIF-8 antibacterial agent with textiles for recycling. However, antibacterial inactivation may be caused by dissolution of the ZIF-8 antibacterial agent in postfinishing technology. In this work, a nondissolution-bonded T-ZIF-8-PEG-TPU photocatalyst was prepared by covalent immobilization, and then, bonded antibacterial fibers T-ZIF-8-PEG-TPU were fabricated by electrospinning technology. The microstructure of the fibers was regulated by optimizing the spinning solution concentration, PEG content, and conductive salt content. The optimum process parameters are 22 wt % spinning solution, 3.3 wt % PEG, and 0.5 wt % ZnCl2 conductive salt. The intrinsic relationship between the fiber microstructure and photocatalytic antibacterial property, moisture permeability, and hydrophobicity was investigated. The antibacterial rate of the fiber membrane against Staphylococcus aureus reaches 100% after 30 min of visible light irradiation, and the antibacterial rate of Escherichia coli is 99.6% after visible light irradiation for 120 min. The fiber membrane has a standard grade I moisture permeability rate and a certain waterproof effect. It has potential applications in the field of health protection such as medical dressings and medical protective products.

To address the issue of secondary contamination caused by the lack of antibacterial properties in polypropylene (PP) meltblown nonwoven fabrics while preserving its core filtration performance, this work employed an immersion-ultrasonic method to construct Ag@T-ZIF-8 antibacterial materials with a core-shell structure. Subsequently, PP/Ag@T-ZIF-8-G composite meltblown fibers was prepared via covalent modification and meltblown spinning technology. The systematic characterization of Ag@T-ZIF-8 was conducted in terms of its chemical structure, microstructure, and photocatalytic antibacterial performance. The effects of Ag@T-ZIF-8 on the antibacterial, filtration and comfort properties of the composite melt-blown nonwoven fabrics were investigated, and the enhancement mechanisms of antibacterial and filtration were revealed. The results indicate that Ag@T-ZIF-8 exhibits a uniform core-shell structure with a particle size of 40∼50 nm and a specific surface area of 531.83 m²/g. At an antibacterial concentration of 200 mg/L, it achieves a 99.99% antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) within 8 min in the dark or 4 min under illumination. Compared with PP meltblown nonwoven fabrics, it demonstrates 73.31% in filtration efficiency for particles with a pressure drop of only 37.3 Pa. When Ag@T-ZIF-8 loading reaches 1 wt%, the composite meltblown fabrics completely eliminates E. coli and S. aureus after 160 min of illumination or 240 min in the dark. This outstanding comprehensive filtration performance stems from a synergistic filtration mechanism combining mechanical filtration, ionic adsorption, and dual-mode antibacterial action under light or dark condition. Integrating superior filtration capabilities, broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, and wear comfort, PP/Ag@T-ZIF-8-G meltblown nonwoven fabrics deliver a highly efficient integrated antibacterial-filtration solution for the medical protective field.
