The article considers the issue of imparting antibacterial properties to warp-knitted fabric Fittex by modifying it using complex copper treatment. The problem of microbial contamination of textile materials remains relevant, especially in medical and sanitary conditions, where the hygiene of materials is the most important condition. Within the framework of the study, the technology of modifying the fabric surface with a copper complex was used, which made it possible to achieve significant improvements in its properties. The use of scanning electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy and energy dispersive analysis ensures the stability of the power and strength of the copper coating, as well as structural changes that contribute to antibacterial activity. The results of the application are that the treated fabric led to a decrease in bacterial growth while maintaining mechanical strength and air permeability. The practical innovation of the work lies in the possibility of using the modified material in the production of medical devices and clothing for conditions with an increased risk of microbial contamination. The results obtained increase the prospects for using copper to create multifunctional textile materials.
