“…However, little research has as yet been performed on the comfort and antibacterial durability of ZnO NPs antibacterial textiles, and this should be the research direction in the future. [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][86][87][88][89]…”

“…The results indicated that the composite fiber displayed significant antibacterial effects against the two species of bacteria, concluding that the effect was related to the content of ZnO NPs, increasing with the increased ZnO NPs concentration. Zhang et al 67 synthesized ZnO NPs(C) using zinc acetate and an amino hyperbranched polymer, and then prepared polypropylene (PP)/ZnO fiber by melt spinning method. It was observed that the fibers displayed excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.…”

In an era of environmentally friendly development, methods of the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from plant extracts have become a focus of research attention because of the benefits of environmental sustainability, simplicity, and low price. The present review introduces a green mechanism for the synthesis of ZnO NPs using the extracts of plants, exploring factors that influence the morphology of ZnO NPs and their antibacterial properties, and the mechanisms of antibacterial action. The results indicate that the factors that influence morphology include the intrinsic crystallographic morphological properties and conditions of the preparation of ZnO NPs. In terms of preparation conditions, the influence of plant extract concentration, precursor concentration, reaction time, and calcination temperature on NP morphology is related to the species of plants used, with precursor concentration the most significant factor affecting the morphology of ZnO NPs. A pH of 12 appears be the most appropriate alkalinity for the synthesis of ZnO NPs from plant extracts. In addition, the synthesized ZnO NPs display excellent antibacterial properties, the mechanism of which involves photocatalysis, reactive oxygen species, and interactions between ZnO NPs and bacterial surfaces. Factors influencing the antibacterial properties are the type of bacteria and the concentration and morphology of ZnO NPs. Finally, the methods of preparation of antibacterial textiles using synthetic ZnO NPs are discussed in relation to the preparation of antibacterial fibers, fabric, and composite textiles. Here, the future trend of such antibacterial textiles is considered, providing the direction for further research of antibacterial textiles.

“…In a previous article, we have reviewed the cytotoxic effects of ZnO nanostructures on mammalian cells [67]. As mentioned, ZnO NPs are widely used in cosmetics, suncreams, UV-absorbing packaging films and fabrics for food and medical textile applications, as well as therapeutic agents for cancer treatment [42][43][44][45][46]67]. In addition, ZnO NPs have also been added to animal (e.g., chicken) feed to promote the growth performance of the animals [319].…”

This article reviews the recent developments in the synthesis, antibacterial activity, and visible-light photocatalytic bacterial inactivation of nano-zinc oxide. Polycrystalline wurtzite ZnO nanostructures with a hexagonal lattice having different shapes can be synthesized by means of vapor-, liquid-, and solid-phase processing techniques. Among these, ZnO hierarchical nanostructures prepared from the liquid phase route are commonly used for antimicrobial activity. In particular, plant extract-mediated biosynthesis is a single step process for preparing nano-ZnO without using surfactants and toxic chemicals. The phytochemical molecules of natural plant extracts are attractive agents for reducing and stabilizing zinc ions of zinc salt precursors to form green ZnO nanostructures. The peel extracts of certain citrus fruits like grapefruits, lemons and oranges, acting as excellent chelating agents for zinc ions. Furthermore, phytochemicals of the plant extracts capped on ZnO nanomaterials are very effective for killing various bacterial strains, leading to low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. Bioactive phytocompounds from green ZnO also inhibit hemolysis of Staphylococcus aureus infected red blood cells and inflammatory activity of mammalian immune system. In general, three mechanisms have been adopted to explain bactericidal activity of ZnO nanomaterials, including direct contact killing, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and released zinc ion inactivation. These toxic effects lead to the destruction of bacterial membrane, denaturation of enzyme, inhibition of cellular respiration and deoxyribonucleic acid replication, causing leakage of the cytoplasmic content and eventual cell death. Meanwhile, antimicrobial activity of doped and modified ZnO nanomaterials under visible light can be attributed to photogeneration of ROS on their surfaces. Thus particular attention is paid to the design and synthesis of visible light-activated ZnO photocatalysts with antibacterial properties

“…Besides, silver material is expensive, and the manufacturing process of silver antibacterial agents is complicated. ZnO is another inorganic antibacterial agent, which has attracted broad interest because of high‐temperature resistance, no migration, low cost, 9 no color change in high temperature, photocatalysis and UV shielding, 12,13 especially the safety properties to human. It is recognized as a bio‐safe material 14 .…”

The green cinnamaldehyde (CA) and thymol (THY) separately or successively modified O-ZnO (O-ZnO-CA, O-ZnO-THY, and O-ZnO-CA-THY) were prepared after (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (KH550) was grafted to the surface of ZnO (O-ZnO) and characterized by FTIR, TGA, and SEM. Polypropylene composites (PP/O-ZnO-CA, PP/O-ZnO-THY, and PP/O-ZnO-CA-THY) were prepared by melting the modified O-ZnO and PP. The antibacterial tests showed that the antibacterial rate of PP/O-ZnO-CA and PP/O-ZnO-THY against S. aureus and E. coli was obviously enhanced. It indicated an excellent synergetic antibacterial effect of O-ZnO and the little CA or THY grafted on the surface of O-ZnO. The antibacterial effect of O-ZnO-CA and O-ZnO-THY was related to the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups contained in CA and THY. Importantly, CA and THY in O-ZnO-CA-THY exhibited another excellent synergetic antibacterial effect against both S. aureus and E. coli. The antibacterial rate of three PP composites containing 4 phr O-ZnO-CA-THY against S. aureus and E. coli reached 95% and 90%, respectively. The mechanism was regarded as that CA and THY grafted onto the same O-ZnO improved the contact probability between antibacterial agents and bacteria. Moreover, O-ZnO-CA, O-ZnO-THY, and O-ZnO-CA-THY had excellent migration resistance in the PP matrix.
