An N-halamine precursor, m-aminophenyl hydantoin (m-APH), which was rendered antimicrobial through exposure to chlorine bleach, was synthesized and was applied on cotton fabric using polycarboxylic acids as crosslinking agents. Particularly, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) with m-APH treated cotton fabric resulted in the highest increased wrinkle recovery angle and chlorine content simultaneously. Durability and rechargeability were measured through an AATCC test method and antimicrobial efficacy of BTCA/m-APH treated cotton fabric against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria showed a 6 log reduction within 1 min of contact time.
