As part of Arch's U.S. textiles' program, Dr. John Payne, an Arch Business Research Associate, will be addressing the American Association of Textile Colorists and Chemists (AATCC) International Conference and Exhibition, Boston, on October 27th. He will be discussing aspects of the technology behind the Purista brand such as performance standards, durability and the overall benefits of including antimicrobial treatments in textiles.
He will also discuss how computational and analytical chemistry methods can explore binding of an active antimicrobial to fibers, and the impact of ionic versus covalent bonding of the antimicrobial agent on properties such as activity and durability.
