A review of antimicrobial fabric containing nanostructures metal‐based compound

Abstract

Textile can be a potential microorganism's propagation site because it contacts with human skin endows optimal conditions combination of nutrient sources, temperature, and moisture which provides conducive environment for microorganism growth. Thus, the development of antibacterial textile is crucial to inhibit the growth of microorganisms for protection the health and safety of wearer. This review article focuses on several metal-based nanoparticles possess biocidal feature namely, Ag, ZnO, Cu based, TiO 2 , and other minor metals based such as iron based, CeO 2 , Au, SiO 2 , Ni, and Pt. The phenomenology of metal nanoparticles associated to the antibacterial effects and possible mechanisms of action against bacteria have been highlighted. This review also discussed the synthesis techniques and effects of incorporation additive materials of those metal-based nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Zinc Oxide for Functional Textile Coatings: Recent Advances

“…Review articles dealing with the use of ZnO in textiles are rare [2,[37][38][39][40]. They are primarily focused on novel application procedures of ZnO [2], being limited to the preparation of antibacterial cellulose/ZnO composites [39] or antimicrobial fabrics containing metal-based nanoparticles, among them ZnO NPs [40]. Existing articles discuss the applications of nanomaterials to textile substrates to obtain different functional properties [38] or give an overview of the development of photocatalystmodified textiles more generally [37].…”

Antimicrobial Bilayer Nanocomposites Based on the Incorporation of As-Synthetized Hollow Zinc Oxide Nanotubes

“…Antiviral studies were also performed, but these materials did not present significant viral reduction.Nanomaterials 2020, 10, 503 2 of 14 antimicrobial nanostructures are one of the most promising alternatives in the search for new antimicrobial substances [3][4][5]. The attention has been principally centered on metallic/metal oxide nanoparticles due to their broad antibacterial and antifungal activities at low concentrations thanks to their high specific area [6][7][8][9].Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are an inorganic material with optical, chemical sensing, electric conductivity, catalytic, photochemical, and antimicrobial properties. This metal oxide presents three crystal structures: wurtzite, zinc blend, and rocksalt, with a direct wide band gap of 3.3 Ev [10].…”

General Considerations on Antimicrobial Tests and Conditions Applicable in Textile Industry

“…The antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods provide reliable results when used according to the previously mentioned standard procedures. As prevalence patterns of microorganisms vary widely and change continually, regional and local resistance must be taken into consideration in the selection of suitable and appropriate antimicrobial agent to combat specific pathogens and to avoid misuse of antibiotics [25][26][27][28]. Recently, resistance to many classes of antimicrobial agents and antibiotics is increasing, which indicates the fact that previous practices during the past period have not been sufficient to prevent the development and spread of resistant pathogens.…”
