“…Due to the quantum size effect and the large specific area, Mg-doped ZnO NPs show high carrier transportation and reactive oxygen species, increasing the speed of redox reactions. Furthermore, the tiny nanospheres of Mg-doped ZnO NPs significantly impact the DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation [ 18 , 41 ].…”

Toxoplasma gondii causes a global parasitic disease. Therapeutic options for eradicating toxoplasmosis are limited. In this study, ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO NPs were prepared, and their structural and morphological chrematistics were investigated. The XRD pattern revealed that Mg-doped ZnO NPs have weak crystallinity and a small crystallite size. FTIR and XPS analyses confirmed the integration of Mg ions into the ZnO framework, producing the high-purity Mg-doped ZnO nanocomposite. TEM micrographs determined the particle size of un-doped ZnO in the range of 29 nm, reduced to 23 nm with Mg2+ replacements. ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO NPs significantly decreased the number of brain cysts (p < 0.05) by 29.30% and 35.08%, respectively, compared to the infected untreated group. The administration of ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO NPs revealed a marked histopathological improvement in the brain, liver, and spleen. Furthermore, ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO NPs reduced P53 expression in the cerebral tissue while inducing CD31 expression, which indicated a protective effect against the infection-induced apoptosis and the restoration of balance between free radicals and antioxidant defense activity. In conclusion, the study proved these nanoparticles have antiparasitic, antiapoptotic, and angiogenetic effects. Being nontoxic compounds, these nanoparticles could be promising adjuvants in treating chronic toxoplasmosis.

“…Bacterial infection in textile consumers is becoming more severe in moist and humid environments that facilitate the abrupt growth and multiplication of microorganisms [29]. To prevent bacterial growth and multiplication, it is necessary to destroy their cell membrane by destroying their protein structure and DNA [30]. Textiles undergo antibacterial treatment to prevent the growth of microorganisms by using biocidal chemical agents that cause the denaturization of bacterial colonies [31].…”

Advancement in nanotechnology brings a revolutionary change in the field of textile finishing. Textile finishing is a chemical or a mechanical process to impart functional properties to the textile to provide comfort for wearer. Today’s textile manufacturers focus on the manufacture of smart and functional textiles that are equipped with antifouling, anti-wrinkle, crease-resistant, water-repellent, flame-retardant, and soil-repellent properties for consumers’ safety and well-being. A wide variety of functional chemical finishes are available in the market to meet the ongoing challenges in the textile sector. Nano-emulsions significantly contribute to a wide variety of functional finishes to provide advanced hi-tech applications for present and future textile consumers. Both natural and synthetic polymers have been utilized for the synthesis of functional finishes by employing polymeric nano-emulsions on cotton, wool polyester fiber as well as textile. Thus, nano-emulsions provide an inherent property to textile and stimulate the economic growth of functional textile market.

“…In current research, there is a growing interest in equipping textiles with antimicrobial properties, as this can reduce the proliferation of pathogens and the risk of spreading diseases. [9] Among antimicrobial, silver-embedded materials, [10][11][12] silver nanoparticles, [13][14][15][16][17] and quaternary ammonium salts [18][19][20] are most widely explored. Additionally, the use of organic photosensitizers (OP) has also been explored.…”

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the use of polypropylene fleece‐based personal protection equipment (PPE) increased significantly to over ten million tons. Typically, most PPEs are discarded after a single use, to prevent self‐infection of users and spread of infectious agents. However, in order to minimize plastic waste without compromising the protective properties of PPE, it is crucial to explore new reusable or longer‐lived materials. Here, a visible light‐activatable antimicrobial photodynamic dye coating for PPEs is presented. In this context, coating with thiomorpholino‐methylene blue (TMB), derived from methylene blue by introducing two thiomorpholine units, is found to show high antibacterial activity. TMB is integrated into rotary printing suspension, a commercial nitrocellulose‐based printing matrix. The concentration of TMB in adhesive is optimized, and found that 5% TMB is suitable for coating PPE, for reducing the number of Gram‐positive and ‐negative bacteria by 99.99% after 6 h of white light irradiation. Bacterial filtration efficiency and breathability tested according to EN 14683, confirmed that TMB coating does not affect the filter performance. Thus, this antimicrobial photodynamic dye coating technique offers a promising solution for a safer and extended use of PPE, and reduction of plastic waste generated by PPEs.
