Deposition of Zinc Oxide on Different Polymer Textiles and Their Antibacterial Properties

Abstract: A surface modification of polyamide 6 (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) textiles was performed using zinc oxide to obtain antibacterial layer. ZnO microrods were synthesized on ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as a nucleus centers by chemical bath deposition (CBD) process. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that wurzite ZnO microrods were obtained on every sample. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), At… Show more

“…The results of the antibacterial efficiency of ZnO Ps showed that at lower concentrations, ZnO Ps were more effective against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria ( Figure 5) [11,15,67,85,100], since the former are more susceptible to inhibition by ZnO Ps than the latter. However, the growth inhibition of Gram-negative bacteria significantly increased at higher ZnO concentrations and with longer contact times, resulting in excellent antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [84,99]. A difference in the susceptibility of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to ZnO Ps was attributed to the difference in their bacterial wall structure [25,82].…”

“…To create antimicrobial textiles, cellulose fibers represent the most attractive textile substrate for the application of ZnO Ps [11,32,42,66,68,69,72,73,76,82,[84][85][86]88,90,[122][123][124][125][126][127]. In addition to cellulose, ZnO Ps have been applied to different synthetic fibers, such as polyester [16,99,100,128], polypropylene [15,99,129], polyamide [99], polyurethane [109] and cellulose/polyester blends [14,94].…”
