“…However, traditional techniques such as sol-gel processing and polymerization require the immersion of fabric in chemical solutions that can be detrimental to the environment, impact fabric comfort, and result in excessive water and chemical waste. Thus, it is imperative to explore alternative eco-friendly methods for fabric finishing (Ibrahim & Eid, 2020;Naebe et al, 2022).…”

“…Typically, when the PECVD technique is applied to these organosilicon compounds, it yields a transparent film with a chemical structure of SiO xCyHz or SiNxCyHz (Jaritz et al, 2021;Rosace et al, 2010). Although HMDSO polymeric films have been utilized in the treatment of various fabrics (Ibrahim & Eid, 2020;Prado et al, 2022;Rosace et al, 2010;Zouari et al, 2021), HMDSN has yet to be used in fabric finishing, while it was used in other fields, where silicon organic thin films were prepared from HMDSN with different feed gases (Nitrogen and Argon), and the formed thin films had a good wettability and promising characteristics for sensing humidity of air and sensing ammonia gas (Saloum et al, 2020a).…”

In the realm of fabric finishing, achieving the best wettability in cotton fabric is often a desired outcome. To accomplish this, a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to deposit Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) thin films onto cotton fabric for two different durations: 15 and 30 minutes. Various fabric properties were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the treatment, including wettability, surface morphology, chemical structure, the effect of deposition on fabric stiffness, and the film fastness on the abrasion and washing. These properties were assessed using SEM, FTIR, and Martindale tester. Results indicated that both treatment durations improved the fabric's wicking ability. However, the film did not have a good fastness on abrasion and washing.

“…There is a growing demand in the market for biologically based textiles with functional properties such as antimicrobial and a refreshing feeling [ 14 ]. Nabil et al studied the surface modification and functionalization of cellulosic fabrics using atmospheric non-thermal plasma treatment technology as an eco-friendly and promising alternative substrate for a full application, particularly the antimicrobial activities [ 15 , 16 ]. As is known, the biologic finishing on textiles was applied to serve a vital role in the human body, and it can be considered a medicinal product [ 14 ].…”

This study aims to develop a new refreshing feeling, ecological, and antimicrobial fabrics for medicinal applications. The geranium essential oils (GEO) are incorporated into polyester and cotton fabrics by different methods, such as ultrasound, diffusion, and padding. The effect of solvent, nature of fibers, and treatment processes were evaluated via the thermal properties, the color strength, the odor intensity, the wash fastness, and the antibacterial activities of the fabrics. It was found that the ultrasound method was the most efficient process for incorporation of GEO. Ultrasound produced a great effect on the color strength of the treated fabrics, suggesting the absorption of geranium oil in fiber surface. The color strength (K/S) increased from 0.22 for the original fabric to 0.91 for the modified counterpart. In addition, the treated fibers showed appreciable antibacterial capacity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria strains. Moreover, the ultrasound process can effectively guarantee the stability of geranium oil in fabrics without decreasing the significant odor intensity and antibacterial character. Based on the interesting properties like ecofriendliness, reusability, antibacterial, and a refreshing feeling, it was suggested that textile impregnated with geranium essential oil might be used as a potential material in cosmetic applications.

The presented study focused on the development of green antibacterial / anticrease cotton and viscose fabrics using an environmentally benign functional finishing formulations. The obtained results demonstrated that coapplication of citric acid / Na-hypophosphite (CA / NaH2PO2) as formaldehyde-free-ester crosslinking system, Naalginate and carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), as safe binding / fixing agents, along with bioactive cationic agents namely Chitosan and Choline Chloride or nano active ingredients namely Ag NPs, ZnO NPs and Al2O3 NPs using the pad-dry-cure method resulted in an improve in antibacterial and anti-crease functionalities with marginal decrease in finished fabric hydrophilicity. The imparted antibacterial functionality against the tested pathogenic bacteria as well as the enhanced fabric resiliency were affected by kind of cellulosic substrate, nature of binding / fixing agent as well as type of the functional additive. Furthermore, SEM and EDX analysis of selected samples further confirmed the surface modification and immobilization of the used functional additives onto the fabric. Additionally, an integrated modification and functionalization mechanism was also proposed.
