“…These advanced textiles offer different functionalities like flame retardancy, self-cleaning, dirt repellency, water repellency, ultraviolet radiation protection, or antibacterial property (Almeida et al, 2017, [ 31 ]), (Brown et al, 2007, [ 32 ]), (Radetic et al, 2013, [ 33 ]), (Ibrahim et al, 2015, [ 34 ]), (Sundarrajan et al, 2010, [ 35 ]), (Afzali, A. et al, 2016, [ 36 ]), (Sharon et al, 2019, [ 37 ]), (El-Naggar et al, 2018, [ 38 ]), (Xue et al, 2020, [ 39 ]), (Gadkari et al, 2020, [ 40 ]), (Elsayed et al, 2020, [ 41 ]), (Mejia et al, 2017, [ 42 ]). Nanocoatings and nanofinishings are enhancing the possible utilizations of textile materials in different fields (Banerjee et al, 2019, [ 43 ]), (Jadoun et al, 2020, [ 44 ]), (Gokarneshan et al, 2017, [ 45 ]), (Perera et al, 2013, [ 46 ]), (Ferraris et al, 2014, [ 47 ]). The usage of nanofibers and nanocomposite based coatings/finishings have demonstrated a huge possibility in emerging functional and high-performance textiles (Bashari et al, 2018, [ 48 ]), (Riaz et al, 2018, [ 49 ]), (Haque et al, 2019, [ 50 ]), (Lund et al, 2018, [ 51 ]), (Silva et al, 2019, [ 52 ]), (Shabbir et al, 2020, [ 53 ]), (Ul-Islam et al, 2018, [ 54 ]).…”

At present, nanotechnology is a priority in research in several nations due to its massive capability and financial impact. However, due to the uncertainties and abnormalities in shape, size, and chemical compositions, the existence of certain nanomaterials may lead to dangerous effects on the human health and environment. The present review includes the different advanced applications of nanomaterials in textiles industries, as well as their associated environmental and health risks. The four main textile industry fields using nanomaterials, nanofinishing, nanocoatings, nanofibers, and nanocomposites, are analyzed. Different functional textiles with nanomaterials are also briefly reviewed. Most textile materials are in direct and prolonged contact with our skin. Hence, the influence of carcinogenic and toxic substances that are available in textiles must be comprehensively examined. Proper recognition of the conceivable benefits and accidental hazards of nanomaterials to our surroundings is significant for pursuing its development in the forthcoming years. The conclusions of the current paper are anticipated to increase awareness on the possible influence of nanomaterial-containing textile wastes and the significance of better regulations in regards to the ultimate disposal of these wastes.

The study focuses on the effects of Ag (silver) and Ti (titanium) ions on textiles by MEVVA (metal vapor vacuum arc) ion implantation. In order to comprehend this, the research was executed in three parts. In the first part, the antibacterial efficiencies of Ag and TiO2 were investigated in detail since the antibacterial capabilities of Ag and TiO2 are well known. A group of polyester- and cotton-based medical textiles were modified by Ag and TiO2 ions, with doses ranging from 5 × 1015 to 5 × 1016 ion/cm2. To determine the adhesion capabilities of the implanted ions on surfaces, after the first round of antibacterial tests, these medical textiles were washed 30 times, and then antibacterial tests were performed for the second time. The results were also compared with nanoparticle-treated medical textiles. In the second part, the corrosion and friction capabilities of Ag and Ti ion-implanted polyester textiles, with a dose of 5 × 1015 ion/cm2, were investigated. Finally, the UV protection capabilities of Ag and Ti ion-implanted polyester textiles, with a dose of 5 × 1015 ion/cm2, were investigated. The experiments showed that even after 30 washes, the TiO2 ion-implanted polyester textile had almost 85% antibacterial efficiency. In addition, Ti ion implantation reduced the friction coefficiency of a polyester textile by almost 50% when compared with an untreated textile. Finally, the Ag-ion-implanted polyester textile provided a UV protection factor of 30, which is classified as very good protection.
