“…Ag NPs have been applied to provide medicinal clothing because of their biological efficiency for extended time intervals to a wide range of fungi, yeasts, viruses, and bacteria. [16][17][18][19][20] Ag NPs are also attractive materials for wound repair, because they react with moisture dispersed on the surface of human skin or with the wound fluid itself by releasing silver ions; they damage the DNA and RNA of bacteria and consequently inhibit their replication. The Ag released exhibits a bactericidal behaviour and could control exudates and odour released from wounds, as well as inducing epidermal repair and reducing the granulation and inflammatory tissue healing phases.…”

Smart textiles with a multifunctional surface, such as with photoluminescence, antimicrobial, and superhydrophobic properties, are highly desirable. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared and immobilized onto a cotton surface using a facile pad-dry-curing technique to introduce long-lasting antimicrobial properties. The morphology of the silver immobilized cotton fibres was explored using scanning electron microscopic images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectra. The morphology of the formed Ag NPs was determined using a transmission electron microscope. Ag NPs exhibited uniform spreading and a high deposition density with a particle diameter in the range 25-55 nm. Both photoluminescence and superhydrophobic properties were explored by studying the cotton samples treated with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane nanocomposite containing lanthanide-doped strontium oxide aluminate NPs. Ultraviolet-visible light absorption, phosphorescence, and lifetime spectra were measured. The produced transparent superhydrophobic and photoluminescent film showed two absorbance bands at 273 and 367 nm and emission bands at 415 and 437 nm, as recognized by both absorption and emission spectra. Excellent antibacterial activities towards E. coli and S. aureus were monitored for the coated samples. Both fastness and colorimetric properties of Ag NPs-coated fabrics were explored.

“…Another example of multifunctional cotton fabrics is the work of El-Naggar et al, that reports the in-situ preparation of Ag NPs onto the fabrics by the pad-dry-cure method. The developed technical textiles demonstrated antimicrobial activity, namely against S. aureus , E. coli and Candida albicans and self-cleaning capability, since they were able to decompose methylene blue [ 93 ].…”

In recent years, an unprecedented increase in the development of products and technologies to protect the human being has been observed. Now, more than ever, the world population is exposed to several threats, harmful to their well-being and health. Chemical and biological hazardous agents stand out as one of the biggest threats, not only for the military forces, but also for the civilians. Consequently, it’s essential to develop personal protective systems that are able to protect their user, not only passively, but actively, being able to detect, adsorb, degrade and decontaminate pesticides, pollutants, microorganisms and most importantly: chemical/biological warfare agents. One recent strategy for the development of active fibrous structures with improved functions and new properties is their functionalization with nanoparticles (NPs), especially metal oxides. Although their known effectiveness in the decomposition of harmful agents, the NPs could also include other functionalities in the same structure using low quantities of material, without adding extra weight, which is of huge importance for a soldier in the battlefield. The use of natural fibers as the substrate is also very interesting, since this material is a much sustainable alternative when compared to synthetic ones, also providing excellent properties.

“…Technical textiles have been utilized for a variety of applications, including automotive purposes such as safety belts, medical field such as surgical sutures, geotextiles such as separation fabrics for soil layers, agriculture such as horticulture fabrics for protection from solar radiation, and protective textiles such as superhydrophobic fibers. It is a huge and increasing segment that supports a huge group of other industries [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Currently, technical textile materials are mainly used in filter garments, furnishings, medical hygiene and construction materials.…”

Textile manufacturing has been one of the highest polluting industrial sectors. It represents about one-fifth of worldwide industrial water pollution. It uses a huge number of chemicals, numerous of which are carcinogenic. The textile industry releases many harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals and formaldehyde, into water streams and soil, as well as toxic gases such as suspended particulate matter and sulphur dioxide to air. These hazardous wastes, may cause diseases and severe problems to human health such as respiratory and heart diseases. Pollution caused by the worldwide textile manufacturing units results in unimaginable harm, such as textile polymers, auxiliaries and dyes, to the environment. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive survey of all recently produced high-performance textiles; and will therefore assist a deeper understanding of technical textiles providing a bridge between manufacturer and end-user. Moreover, the achievements in advanced applications of textile material will be extensively studied. Many classes of technical textiles were proved in a variety of applications of different fields. The introductory material- and process-correlated identifications regarding raw materials and their transformation into yarns, fibers and fabrics followed by dyeing, printing, finishing of technical textiles and their further processing will be explored. Thus, the environmental impacts of technical textiles on soil, air and water are discussed.
