Common and nano-antimicrobial textile finishes

Antimicrobial and Water Repellency Performance of Polypropylene Outdoor Fabrics Subjected to Sequential Finishing Processes

“…Generally, antimicrobial finishes may be biocidal or biostatic. Biocides include agents that kill bacteria and fungi while biostats inhibit the microorganisms' growth (Simoncic and Tomsic, 2010;Arık, 2021).…”

The Comparison of the Effects of Β-Cyclodextrin Complex and Derivative Complex with Silver Nanoparticles on Cotton Fabric

“…Textile products have long been known as susceptible media that support the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms are found almost everywhere in the environment and can multiply rapidly when basic requirements such as moisture, nutrients and temperature are met (Gao and Cranston 2008;Abdel-Halim et al 2011;El-Shishtawy et al 2011;Shahidi and Wiener 2012;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Vhanbatte et al 2017;Eid et al 2020;Arik 2021). Therefore, it is of great importance that the fabrics to form a protection shield and protect them from all kinds of microbial attacks (El-Shishtawy et al 2011;Shahidi and Wiener 2012;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Eid et al 2020;Ogunsona et al 2020;Salem et al 2020;Arik 2021).…”

“…However, most of these agents can be toxic to humans and the environment during application. For this reason, the antibacterial agent to be used in the textile industry should not only kill microorganisms, but also be safe for humans and the environment and not adversely affect the other properties of the textile materials (Gao and Cranston 2008;Bozaci et al 2015;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Ibrahim and Hassan 2016;Vhanbatte et al 2017;Nogueira 2018;Ogunsona et al 2020;Arik 2021). Due to be biocompatible and non-toxic and have strong antibacterial effect and high thermal stability, silver is generally preferred over other compounds (Gao and Cranston 2008;Rai et al 2009;George et al 2010;Jaiswal et al 2010;Ravindra et al 2010;Andrade et al 2014;Bozaci et al 2015;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Salem et al 2020).…”

“…Ionized silver is highly effective in antibacterial sense since it binds to tissue proteins, creates structural deformations in the bacterial cell wall and cell membrane through ionic interaction, and causes cell degradation and even death (Gao and Cranston 2008;Rai et al 2009;El-Shishtawy et al 2011;Hebeish et al 2014a;Bozaci et al 2015;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Ibrahim and Hassan 2016;Vhanbatte et al 2017;Ogunsona et al 2020;Arik 2021). On the other hand, it has been reported that when silver is used as nanoparticles, it gives some extra advantages like good and uniform dispersion without agglomeration on the textile surface and high affinity and interaction with microorganisms thanks to their large surface area to volume ratio and high surface energy (Rai et al 2009;Jaiswal et al 2010;Ravindra et al 2010;Sathiya Priya et al 2013;Andrade et al 2014;Hebeish et al 2014a;Bozacı et al 2015;Butola and Mohammad 2016;Ibrahim and Hassan 2016;Vhanbatte et al 2017;Ru et al 2018;Eid et al 2020;Ogunsona et al 2020;Arik 2021). Although the silver has a considerable antibacterial activity, in order to be washing durable and longly effective, silver particles should have high bonding performance and controlled release mechanism on the surface of the textile materials (Butola and Mohammad 2016;Arik 2021).…”

Although the silver has a considerable antibacterial activity, in order to be washing durable and longly effective, silver particles should have high bonding performance and controlled release mechanism on the surface of the textile materials (Butola and Mohammad 2016;Arik 2021). For this aim, alternative methods like nanocomposite formation (Bozaci et al 2015), crosslinking (Nogueira 2018;Ru et al 2018), capsulation (George et al 2010;Malini et al 2020) and complexation (Jaiswal et al 2010;Popescu et al 2013;Sathiya Priya et al 2013;Andrade et al 2014) have been suggested.…”
