The regenerated cellulose fibers with antimicrobial and deodorizing functions were prepared by wet spinning process by blending the extract of Artemisia argyi and activated clay powder into the spinning solution. The mechanical properties and antimicrobial and deodorizing functions were tested. The results show that the breaking strength and breaking elongation rate of the composite fibers are slightly lower than those of ordinary cellulose fibers. The inhibition rate of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans were 95%, 81% and 83% respectively, and the reduction rates of ammonia, acetic acid and isovaleric acid were 80%, 95% and 78%, respectively. It has excellent antimicrobial and deodorizing performance.
