Antibacterial activity of Cu-based nanoparticles synthesized on the cotton fabrics modified with polycarboxylic acids

Cu(ii) immobilized on Fe3O4@HNTs–tetrazole (CFHT) nanocomposite: synthesis, characterization, investigation of its catalytic role for the 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction, and antibacterial activity

“…[8][9][10] The modied nanocomposites have been utilized in some areas such as reduction of nitrophenol, dyes removal. 11,12 The metals-containing nanocatalysts with their applicable properties have been mostly employed to assist diverse chemical reactions, such as oxidation and reduction reactions, coupling, cross-coupling, multicomponent reactions, click and cycloaddition reactions under the convenient and benign procedure. Copper is one of those intermediate metals that has gained much attention with appreciated features such as availability, biocompatibility, affordable price, catalytic efficiency for some reactions and its outstanding antimicrobial activity against various bacterial strains.…”

“…Copper is one of those intermediate metals that has gained much attention with appreciated features such as availability, biocompatibility, affordable price, catalytic efficiency for some reactions and its outstanding antimicrobial activity against various bacterial strains. 11 Several hybrid composites have recently been fabricated by immobilizing copper on the organic, inorganic or hybrid compounds and then utilized as efficient catalytic or antibacterial systems. [12][13][14][15][16] MCRs are one-pot methods in which simple initial materials incorporated into the direct manufacture of complex structures.…”

Antimicrobial activity of copper‐humate‐cellulose sheets

“…Copper has been successfully applied in several food packages, extending the shelf life of food . Most of the literature reports about polymer films that have been activated by copper nanoparticles . There are only a few examples of modified cellulose‐based packaging material …”

Covalent Graft of Lipopeptides and Peptide Dendrimers to Cellulose Fibers

“…To impart antimicrobial characteristics to textiles, different approaches were studied and applied. An easy and common solution encompasses absorption and trapping of an antimicrobial agent in the tissue texture or, on occasion, its grafting onto the surface of polymeric fibers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Common antimicrobial agents used so far include quaternary ammonium compounds, trichlosan, diclofenac, metal salts, silver compounds, or even natural polymers [1,[10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Common antimicrobial agents used so far include quaternary ammonium compounds, trichlosan, diclofenac, metal salts, silver compounds, or even natural polymers [1,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. Inorganic nanoparticles were also exploited to impart antimicrobial activity [7,8,16,17]. However, inorganic salts and nanoparticles rarely give a durable antimicrobial effect to textiles as they are rapidly released during washing and usage.…”
