“…The reported studies so far indicated that the complexity is even larger than expected as the temperature, the humidity and the type of soil, including the type of enzymes involved, also play an important role in biodegradation processes of textiles in the soil. 14,17,18 As anticipated, the results confirmed that Ag NPs in various forms inhibit the biodegradation of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics due to outstanding antimicrobial activity. [12][13][14][15]17 Recently, Milošević et al reported that Ag/TiO 2 NPs also suppress the biodegradation of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics in the soil.…”

Commercial P25 TiO 2 nanoparticles are widely exploited as an efficient photocatalyst. In the textile domain, these nanoparticles are used for the production of self-cleaning, highly UV protective textiles, with an antimicrobial activity. The disposed textile products may end up in a landfill where they are subjected to the biodegradation process. Considering the importance of the later, this study discusses the biodegradation behaviour of cotton fabric impregnated with commercial P25 TiO 2 nanoparticles. Photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 nanoparticles immobilized on cotton fabric was proved by the photodegradation of dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7 and methylene blue in aqueous solution. Biodegradation of fabrics was assessed by soil burial test in periods of 3, 9 and 18 days. Chemical and morphological changes induced by biodegradation were analyzed by FTIR, SEM and EDS. A colour of the samples gradually changed from white to yellow/brown due to rotting. SEM analysis revealed a severe destruction of the control and impregnated cotton fibres after 18 days of soil burial which was in line with visual appearance of completely damaged fabrics. The results confirmed that biodegradation behaviour of both the control and impregnated sample was equivalent, indicating that P25 TiO 2 nanoparticles did not inhibit the biodegradation process of cellulose.

“…Although there had been previous reports of biosynthesis with the other species evaluated, the strains and the conditions of the culture and reaction were different, so differences in the characteristics of the obtained silver nanoparticles were expected [10]. For example, synthesis of nanoparticles from Alternaria alternata and Fusarium graminearum cultures, grown in chemically-defined media, was previously reported [11,12]; however, the production of nanoparticles from the culture of these two fungi in nutrient medium was not detected in this work. Furthermore, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from biomass of Pleurotus ostreatus grown in 5 g/L malt extract and 10 g/L glucose broth or Penicillium expansum grown in yeast mold (YM) broth, was reported [13,14].…”

Silver nanoparticles have particular properties that contribute to their very promising applications, novel in various fields of science, such as the development of biosensors, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the controlled release of drugs and the antimicrobial potential. The biological synthesis of nanoparticles is of great interest over other physical and chemical methods because the use of toxic chemicals and drastic reaction conditions are avoided. The extracellular biosynthesis using fungi could also make downstream processing much easier than the intracellular biosynthesis. One of the main applications of silver nanoparticles is their antimicrobial activity. Several studies have demonstrated the bactericidal properties of silver nanoparticles are different from silver ions, and that they are strongly influenced by their shape, size, concentration and colloidal state. In the present work, the ability of fungal strains from Uruguay to synthesize silver nanoparticles was studied. Eight fungi were able to synthesize nanoparticles. An extensive physicochemical characterization of the nanoparticles was carried out including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta-potential and gel electrophoretic mobility. According to the characterization and colloidal stability results, nanoparticles from three fungi were selected for antimicrobial activity assays. All nanoparticles were able to inhibit Escherichia coli growth, demonstrating their potential as effective antibacterial agent for use in biomedical applications.

In order to understand the impact of mechanical action on the wrinkling of cotton fabrics in a drum washer, fabric movement was observed and a movement index system was developed to characterize the textile motion. Results showed that spinning speed and wash load were the major factors influencing the smoothness of cotton fabrics, with p values of 0.000 and 0.032, respectively. The analysis of fabric movement illustrated that when the wash load increased, the free motion region decreased and the ratio of passive motion region increased, resulting in severe wrinkling of cotton fabric. A regression model was developed to characterize the relationship between fabric movement and smoothness. These findings help the understanding of the mechanism of wrinkling during a drum washer washing.
