Antibacterial Fibers Containing Nanosilica with Immobilized Silver Nanoparticles

Towel fabrics provide a suitable environment for bacterial growth due to the moisture on them. For this reason, studies are carried out on the antibacterial properties of the towel. In this study, it is aimed to conduct research activities within the scope of developing antibacterial terry fabric. For this purpose, different terry fabric productions were made using silver yarn, bamboo and antibacterial chemicals, and their antibacterial properties were examined. In this context, the antibacterial chemical finishing process, known as the classical method, was applied to the towels, which were first woven from 100% cotton yarn. In addition, towel fabrics were produced by using 70% bamboo-30% cotton yarn and 92% cotton-8% silver yarn. Antibacterial activities of the obtained fabric samples against S. aureus and K. pneumonie bacteria according to AATCC 100 standard were examined.

Nowadays, consumers understand that upgrading their traditional clothing can improve their lives. In a garment fabric, comfort and functional properties are the most important features that a wearer looks for. A variety of textile technologies are being developed to meet the needs of customers. In recent years, nanotechnology has become one of the most important areas of research. Nanotechnology’s unique and useful characteristics have led to its rapid expansion in the textile industry. In the production of high-performance textiles, various finishing, coating, and manufacturing techniques are used to produce fibers or fabrics with small nano sizes. Humans have been utilizing cotton for thousands of years, and it accounts for around 34% of all fiber production worldwide. The clothing industry, home textile industry, and healthcare industry all use it extensively. Nanotechnology can enhance cotton fabrics’ properties, including antibacterial activity, self-cleaning, UV protection, etc. Research in the field of functional cotton fabrics with nanotechnology is presented in the present study.

“…The objective of this work was to fabricate a knitted structure that incorporates antibacterial fibers produced at a prior stage of our research, which were presented in one of our previous publications [24]. The ubiquitous threats related to rapidly developing, dangerous pathogens provided the motivation for seeking an optimal structure for a knitted fabric intended for bioactive protective gloves using antibacterial fibers containing nanosilica with immobilized silver nanoparticles.…”

At a time of growing epidemic hazards caused by a very rapid evolution of dangerous pathogens, there is a pressing demand for bioactive textiles. Therefore, the development of high-quality knitted structures that could be used as bioactive protective materials has become a priority. This publication describes the fabrication of functional knitted structures from previously prepared antibacterial cellulose fibers containing nanosilica with immobilized silver nanoparticles. The structural and physical parameters of knitted fabrics made from them were studied with a view to their potential application in bioactive protective gloves. Tests of the basic structural and physical parameters of the knitted fabrics did not show that the nanomodifier applied in fibers significantly impacts the physical properties of the resulting fabrics. Moreover, water vapor permeability, cut resistance, and pH test results relevant to the functional and protective properties of interest and to user comfort showed that the obtained fabrics can be used in the production of bioactive protective gloves.
