Abstract

- Antimicrobial bio-barriers formed by natural fibres were prepared.
- The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the modified fibres were determined.
- The fibre properties were key factors in determining the antimicrobial activity.
- Longer exposure to soil microflora resulted in deactivation of the bio-barrier.
- The sustainability of the fibres used in the antimicrobial bio-barrier was ensured.
