Provided is a bio-based material having an antibacterial effect, comprising a polymer represented by a formula (1) or a mixture of the polymer represented by the formula (1) and polyethylene glycol as an antibacterial active ingredient. The use of the bio-based material is also mentioned. The antibacterial bio-based material has excellent, stable and long-lasting antibacterial activity, and has remarkable antibacterial effects against various bacteria and fungi. The antibacterial bio-based material also has excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, is derived from bio-based products produced by microbial fermentation, has high safety and is suitable for industrial production and large-scale use.

Bio-based material with antibacterial effect and use thereof

A biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric, a cross section of the knitted fabric includes a front side of cross section made of wool short fiber yarns, an intermediate connection layer of cross section capable of transferring moisture and a rear side of cross section made of antibacterial filaments; the intermediate connection layer of cross section is made of filament yarns having a special shape capable of being inserted into the front side of cross section and the rear side of cross section so that the front side of cross section is connected with the rear side of cross section. The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric proposed by the present application has a long time significant antibacterial effect by adopting a cross section structure with three layers and antibacterial material, and does not contain any antimicrobials and metal ions, and has the advantages of low cost, easy manufacturing and long lasting antibacterial effect.
