“…As figure 2 is observed, it can be understood that antimicrobial activity of the samples was less satisfying against E. coli reduction (%) according to the bar graph. This may be attributed to E.coli bacteria being more resistant compared to S. Aureus (Rahman et al, 2021). When the antifungal activity against C. albicans is evaluated, most satisfying antifungal activity was observed among F5, F7, F8 and F9 coded fabrics which were treated with 5 and 10 g/l antimicrobial substance, respectively.…”

Polypropylene fabrics are one of the most preferred products for outdoor textiles. With the risks posed by the pandemic in the last year, outdoor textiles are expected to have some additional features such as antibacterial, antivirus, antimildew properties. Antimicrobial finishing and water repellency treatment may be applied consecutively on polypropylene fabrics. This research aims to investigate the effect of sequential finishing process by applying of different antimicrobial chemical ratio (0, 5 and 10 g/l) and fluorocarbon-based water repelling substance (0, 30 and 50 g/l) on antimicrobial efficiency and water repellency grades of outdoor fabrics. According to the results of statistical analyses, it was determined that antimicrobial efficiency against S. aureus and C. albicans was statistically influenced from process type at significance level of 0.05, while antimicrobial efficiency against E.coli microorganism was not statistically influenced from process type. Antimicrobial activity of outdoor samples was more satisfying against S. aureus microorganism. Water repellency results generally improved as the applied amount of water repellent substance increased for the fabrics treated with the same amount of antimicrobial substance.

“…These side effects include the production of unpleasant odour, loss of mechanical strength of fabrics, appearance of stains and discolouration, and a higher risk of user to microbial infections. Microbial contamination is a major concern, particularly for textiles used in hospitals for health and hygiene care [ 192 , 193 ]., The same thing holds for athletic apparel and textiles that are used in water and air purification systems, packaging of foods and feeds, [ 194 , 195 ]. As a result of consumers' growing awareness of the implications on personal cleanliness and the health hazards that are linked with certain microbes such as Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii , research and demand for antimicrobial textiles have skyrocketed in recent years [ 191 , 196 ], with nanotextiles being actively discussed for different smart applications [ 57 ].…”

This article aims to investigate the development of surgical masks for medical applications by incorporating biocidal silver nanoparticles. Medical masks were developed in three layers of a nonwoven fabric, where the outer and inner layers were made of a spun-bond polypropylene nonwoven fabric and the middle layer con¬sisted of a melt-blown nonwoven polypropylene fabric. In this study, silver nanoparticles in the concentrations of 1–5% were applied to masks with the pad-dry-cure method. The samples were cured at room temperature and subsequently examined for antimicrobial properties. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to investigate the morphological charac¬teristics and chemical composition of the samples. Microbial cleanliness, bacterial filtration efficiency, antiviral effect and breathability tests were performed according to standard test protocols. The results revealed that the application of silver nanoparticles to a three-layer mask rendered the end product with outstanding anti¬microbial and antiviral properties with poor breathability (air permeability) results.
