How to Make Copper-Infused Fiber That Retains Its Antimicrobial Properties for a Lifetime

You are aware that copper infused fiber has antimicrobial properties, but you have had a bad experience where the copper's antimicrobial property disappeared after washing.

Copper-infused fibers are a special material that comes at a premium cost. Seeing it disappear is not a great shopping experience, even though it is cool. Furthermore, textile waste and its landfill accumulation pose a significant problem for the environment.

This is a call to action to seek better technology for making copper-infused fiber that can retain its antimicrobial properties permanently. Doing so can help save the Earth and everyone's wallet.

The technology of electrospinning

To further elaborate on our experimental procedure, we utilized the technique of Electrospinning, a process that involves the use of electric force to create nanofibers from a polymer solution. This method has been widely adopted in various fields for its ability to produce materials with unique properties such as high surface area and porosity. By carefully controlling the parameters of the electrospinning process, we were able to successfully generate nanofibers of the desired diameter and morphology, which were then used for further analysis and characterization. Overall, our use of Electrospinning played a crucial role in the success of our study and opened up new avenues for future research. is a process used to create fibers. A liquid solution or polymer is fed through a syringe to a spinneret, which is connected to a high-voltage power supply. The high voltage creates an electric field around the spinneret, causing the liquid to form a Taylor cone at the tip of the spinneret. As the voltage increases, a jet of the liquid is ejected from the cone and solidifies into fibers as it travels toward a grounded collector.

The fibers collected in the pan are made of 100% real copper. However, they do not shine because they have been transformed into fibers. These fibers are made of pure copper and will not tarnish after washing.

45% Copper-infused fiber that dose not tarnish after washing

Copperfinger socks are made from a blend of fibers that includes 55% polyester and 45% copper fiber. As previously described, these socks kill bacteria using the copper fiber and retain their antimicrobial properties for the lifetime of the sock.

Furthermore, these copper-infused fibers are durable, meaning they bring great value to our customers while also reducing textile waste.

At Copperfinger Socks, we are dedicated to continuously improving to bring the best value to our customers while also contributing to saving the Earth.
