Definition of functional fiber
• Functional fiber refers to the fibers
which can exhibit some special
functions while remain the traits of
ordinary fibers.
• The fiber can show various
functions such as soft, dyeing,
antistatic, flame retardant,
absorptive etc. It can resemble the
traits of natural fiber.
Production methods
• Fabric treatment
• Produce functional fibers directly
Functional fiber types
• Sanitarian fiber
• Defendable fiber
• Comfortable feeling fiber
• Functional fiber for medical use
1. Sanitarian fiber
• For this type of fiber, there are
antibacterial fiber, negative ion
fiber, miticidal, odor removable
fiber etc.
Antibacterial fiber
• Currently, there are two
approaches to process
antibacterial fiber and fabric.

3. Comfortable feeling fiber
• main traits :
good biological compatibility
strong biological activity
the function of antiinflammation,
pain ease,haemostasia and
antibacterial
good biological degradation
• Chitin is a natural glucidamin
polymer abstracted from shell
of shrimp, crab and insects.
