Abstract:

In order to systematically review the development to bioactive fibers, the basic structures, properties and applications of bioactive fibers were analyzed, the various methods for loading functional groups in fibrous materials were summarized, and bioactive fibers based on raw materials and preparation techniques were systematically classified. Results show that by regeneration, blending, coating and chemical modification, bioactive fibers can be prepared to carry bioactive groups influence cells, tissues, organs and systems in the human body with antimicrobial, haemostatic, enhanced blood circulation, immune defense, anti-ageing and other health care and skin care benefits. Products made from bioactive fibers are highly valuable in hygiene materials, antimicrobial textiles, cosmetotextilogy textiles, functional wound dressings and other medical textile fields.

Key words: bioactive fiber, method for loading functional group, fiber classification, biomedical material
