“…Textile materials play an important role in human production and life. With the growing advancements in wearable technology, the limitations of single-function textiles have become apparent as they fail to meet the diverse demands of humans. − Consequently, functional textiles have garnered significant attention as they offer multifaceted capabilities to cater to our evolving needs. Significant progress has been made in the manufacture of multifunctional textiles, in which functional textiles are widely used in medical, electronic skin, humidity monitoring, antibacterial protection, and other fields. − Until now, textiles have been nanoengineered through nanotechnology to obtain specific functions, such as electrical conductivity, hydrophobicity, antistatic, flame retardant, and antibacterial properties.…”

Long-lasting and highly efficient antibacterial fabrics play a key role in public health occurrences caused by bacterial and viral infections. However, the production of antibacterial fabrics with a large size, highly efficient, and broad-spectrum antibacterial performance remains a great challenge due to the complex processes. Herein, we demonstrate sizable and highly efficient antibacterial fabrics through hydrogen bonding interaction and electrostatic interaction between surface groups of ZnO nanoparticles and fabric fibers. The production process can be carried out at room temperature and achieve a production rate of 300 × 1 m 2 within 1 h. Under both visible light and dark conditions, the bactericidal rate against Gram-positive (S. aureus), Gram-negative (E. coli), and multidrugresistant (MRSA) bacteria can reach an impressive 99.99%. Furthermore, the fabricated ZnO nanoparticle-decorated antibacterial fabrics (ZnO@fabric) show high stability and long-lasting antibacterial performance, making them easy to develop into variable antibacterial blocks for protection suits.
