Novel feature of nano‐titanium dioxide on textiles: Antifelting and antibacterial wool

Abstract: In this study, the antifelting and antibacterial features of wool samples treated with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) were evaluated. To examine the antifelting properties of the treated samples, the fabric shrinkage after washing was determined. The antimicrobial activity was assessed through the calculation of bacterial reduction against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) bacteria. TiO 2 was stabilized on the wool fabric surface by means of carboxylic acids… Show more

“…131 In industries, titanium on a nanoscale is used for its antibacterial activities such as long storage of wool which would have bacterial growth due to moist environment. 132 Titanium as a nanomaterial is promising in both the medical field and industries due to its antibacterial performances. Toxicity studies are important to daily life such as sunscreen and cosmetics products, toxicity studies are important to prevent biological harms to the body.…”

“…One of the areas of biomedical application of titania nanoparticle coatings is so-called "smart" textiles, which are able to purify themselves from organic matter and fungal attack, as well as to destruct bacteria under the influence of soft UV-radiation. Montazer et al [39] investigated the antifelting and antimicrobial features of TiO 2 treated wool samples against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The fields of application of such materials are quite broad -from the medical staff wear and bed linen to bandaging materials.…”

“…The premise of using composite materials stems from the fact that zinc oxide (ZNPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs) induce potent antibacterial and anticancer activities when applied in mill molar concentrations (Jones et al 2008;Yamamoto 2001;Zhang et al 2007;Brunet et al 2009;Han et al 2016;Montazer et al 2011;Savvova and Bragina 2010). We have previously demonstrated potent antibacterial and anticancer activities of ZNPs and TNPs prepared by multiple synthesis routes & V.
