A method for manufacturing antibacterial polyester master batches and
fibers containing nano-silver particles, the method includes the acts of:
mixing a reducing agent, glycol and a silver precursor together to
compose a first mixture; esterifying terephthalic acid and glycol to
compose a second mixture containing block polymers; mixing the first and
second mixtures to make the block polymers further polymerize to achieve
a polyester liquid containing nano-silver particles; optionally, cooling
the polyester liquid to solidify; and selectively, granulating the
solidified polyester to obtain a polyester master batches or melting
spinning the polyester to obtain polyester fibers. By reducing the silver
ions during polymerizing reaction, the reduced silver particles are
separated by polymerized polyester molecules so that the silver particles
are evenly distributed inside the polyester master batches without
coagulation.
