| Abstract | ||||
| Microorganisms and microbes may cause a loss of tissue properties, so antimicrobial processing must be done. There are many techniques that can be used in the processing process and applied to fabric to impart antimicrobial properties, including the super critical. In this method, water is not used, but carbon dioxide is used instead. Supercritical, thus reducing water consumption and preserving the environment from pollution. Super critical is applied to different types of fabric, whether cotton or polyester. Plasma can also be used in anti-bacterial processing, where there is a thermal and non-thermal plasma. In this processing, atmospheric pressure plasma and plasma (PDP) can be used on various materials to improve the loading of antibacterial agents on the material and thus increase the ability of the material to resist bacteria. Finally, the microencapsulation method can be used, whether in micro or nano size, and it consists of a core, which is the basic material, and a shell, which is. Herbal plants are extracted and used as a base material in the capsule and their release is controlled to increase the material's resistance to microbes. | ||||
