Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed new materials of polyester to prevent for textile contact dermatitis. This materials was possible to reduce C, N, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca and Fe. Staphylococcus aureus could not grow on this material and Furthermore, Firmicutes/ Proteobacteria ratio from sweat after wearing this material indicated lower compared with that after wearing regular polyester.
Finally, our material did not represent itching, eczema, rash on the skin. As conclusion, weak acid polyester is useful material for prevention textile contact dermatitis.
