Five cationising agents were synthesised, through the reaction of various trialkylamines with epichlorohydrin, and then used for the cationisation of cellulosic fibre. The cationised cellulosic fibres could be dyed with acid dyes and showed excellent antimicrobial activity in spite of the low degree of cationisation.
