“…For antibacterial and antimicrobial textile finishing, various biocides like silver, triclosan, chitosan, quaternary ammonium salts, N-halamines, biguanide derivatives, synthetic dyes, and peroxyacids have been applied to textile surfaces [52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. Sol-gel technology as an alternative method can bring advantages like ecological treatment, less chemical use, low-temperature processing, low toxicity to human health, protection of inherent properties of textile material, and excellent washing and usage durability in this finishing process [52,55,[59][60][61].…”

In the chapter, sol-gel applications in textile finishing process such as flame retardancy, water, oil repellency, ultraviolet (UV) protection, self-cleaning, and antibacterial and antiwrinkle processes are reviewed. Sol-gel technology is well known in materials, metallurgy, ceramic, and glass industry since 1960 and has been researched in textile industry in the last decade. Sol-gel technology has some advantages when compared to conventional textile finishing process. Sol-gel technology, which is a method applied to the inorganic metal alkoxide or metal salts to organic textile materials, could impart the high, durable activity and multifunctional properties to different textile materials in the same bath at one step using low concentration of precursors. In addition, sol-gel technology presents alternatively economical, ecological, and environmental friendly process due to one-step application, using low concentration of chemicals, nonhalogenated chemicals, and nonformaldehyde release when compared to conventional processes.

“…The effectiveness of antimicrobial functionalization on textiles has been shown to be dependent upon the pretreatment way and chitosan application methods. 54 In a recent study, Ibrahim et al 55 claimed that a new environmental friendly treatment using the incorporation of chitosan and other bioactive ingredients into pigment pastes results in the development of antibacterial cellulose fabrics. They reported that the antibacterial activity by the modified pigment prints against S. aureus and E. coli was maintained for more than 20 washings.…”

In recent years, the population explosion and environmental pollution have increased the interest of researchers in the discovery of new health and hygiene-related products for the well being of mankind. Among the possible approaches initiated by the textile industry, the use of low-environmental impact technologies-based on sustainable biopolymers-presents a novel possible avenue for large scale development of bioactive textiles. The purpose of this article is to review the information on the role of different biopolymers in the development of antimicrobial textiles. Increased sustainability, environment friendliness, reduced pollution, green chemistry, renewability and intrinsic biological activity are some of the attributes which make chitosan, cyclodextrin, sericin protein, and alginate suitable alternative agents for the functional finishing of textile materials. The application of biopolymers, along with the recent impact of various "green chemistry" strategies, on the antimicrobial properties of textile fibers is reviewed. It also includes a brief review on different green pretreatment technologies used for the surface modification of textiles with a special reference to their influence on antimicrobial properties. Finally, the advantages and future studies regarding the use of nanotechnology in the antimicrobial finishing of textiles is also outlined.

“…The poor bonding of chitosan with textile substrates is a challenge that is solved depending on the properties of the polymers. Accordingly, environmentally friendly agents, e.g., citric acid and other low-toxic oxidizing agents, are used to support the interaction, e.g., cross-linking of chitosan with textile materials, e.g., wool and cotton and their blends [ 8 ]. Modification of materials with chitosan increases the breaking strength and resistance to deformation, increases the possibility of wetting the material and hydrophilicity [ 9 ], enhances dyeing properties [ 10 , 11 ], antimicrobial properties [ 3 , 7 ], reduces static charge [ 12 ] and can reduce the amount of particles released from the polyester material during washing [ 5 , 13 , 14 ].…”

The research deals with functionalization of a standard polyester fabric with biopolymer chitosan, whose premises are multifunctional and favour ecological effects. Due to the incompatibility of synthetic and natural polymers, the chitosan treatment was preceded by alkaline hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide with the addition of cationic and anionic surfactants as promoters. Compatibility of the chitosan with untreated and alkali-hydrolyzed fabrics was performed by analysis of mechanical and physico-chemical properties. The number of characterisation procedures performed required the use of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to identify homogeneous groups or clusters in which similarities and differences between samples are visible. Almost all applied methods and evaluation parameters have shown that alkaline hydrolysis of polyester fabric has the best potential for functionalization with chitosan. Therefore, the addition of surfactants as promoters during alkaline hydrolysis is not necessary in the pretreatment process phase.
