Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes severe acute and chronic nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised burn patients. and can lead to severe mortality and morbidity. The emergence of antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa infections has created significant challenges in treating these patients. A potential alternative treatment for antibiotic resistant pathogens includes the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which have received considerable attention due to their potent antibacterial activity. The aim of this study was to construct a novel CNT containing an anti-bacterial chemical component to effectively combat drug resistant P. aeruginosa infections. Methods: In this study, a novel chemical component was synthesized and coated the CNT. The antimicrobial effects were then evaluated on MDR, XDR, and PDR strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burn patients. Antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated using the disk diffusion test and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing. In order to determine the potential cytotoxicity, an MTT assay was performed on Human Dermal Fibroblasts. The effect of treatment on the expression of wound healing genes was analyzed via qRT-PCR. Results: Experimental data indicates that our CNT coated chemical compound had antibacterial properties, negligible cytotoxicity, and could accelerate the wound healing process. Conclusions: Given the antibacterial properties of our CNT chemical compound, it has the potential to treat and reduce the occurrence of multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa burn wound infections and aid in wound healing by turning on genes (VEGFA, EGF and PDEGF) involved in the wound healing process.

“…Polyester fibers have essential importance in the textile industry, from all types of garments to furnishing and technical textiles. The reasons for preferring the use of polyester fibers in textile materials include their low cost, easy processability, low density, high strength, and chemical resistance . However, polyester fibers have a hydrophobic character that is due to their lack of polar groups, presenting disadvantages like low moisture regain, high electrostatic behavior, pilling, and soiling.…”

Natural perlite material was added for the first time into a polyester filament yarn structure. The water absorption and heat and sound insulation properties of the fabrics produced from textured and twisted polyester yarns containing 1.25% perlite additive were tested, and the results were compared with those obtained on the fabrics produced from reference polyester yarns. Although there are differences between the mechanical properties of the polyester yarns, the yarns including perlite remained within commercial usage limits. The thermal resistance values of polyester sateen fabrics obtained from perlite-containing yarns were higher than those of the reference fabrics. The contribution of perlite led to a marked improvement, especially in the hydrophilicity and sound insulation of the polyester fabrics.

Multiscale structures of biotic materials exhibiting natural integration provide a model for the development of functional surfaces with special wettability. Inspired by nature, for example, by the lotus leaf and butterfly wings that show excellent superhydrophobicity, scientists have recently fabricated a variety of biomimetic superhydrophobic membranes through various smart and easy routes. After a brief description of natural superhydrophobic surfaces and the structural and functional biomimetic surfaces, we present the design and fabrication methods of these bio‐inspired superhydrophobic fibrous membranes. The main focus is the overview of the polymeric materials used to fabricate the superhydrophobic fibrous membranes at nano‐ or microscales and the chemical modifications that led to superhydrophobicity of as‐prepared polymeric and inorganic fibrous membranes. Later, we describe the induced superhydrophobicity in common textile fibrous surfaces. In addition, we highlight some potential applications associated with these remarkable biomimetic surfaces.
