Nanotechnology is one of the modern technologies and has many applications that include the manufacture of particles or particles in the nanoscale. The word nano has emerged from the Greek word Nano, meaning dwarf, and nanoparticles are defined as single particles whose dimensions do not exceed 100 nanometers. There are many possibilities for applications Nanotechnology in the field of cotton and other textile industries, and the current research aims to improve the functional performance of cotton fabrics producing eye bandages that require attention to catch up with progress in the field of nanotechnology, As well as designing medical textiles and raising the efficiency of performance until it reaches the quality stage that achieves high competition. Cotton fibers are characterized by natural properties due to their resistance to bacterial activity, but they are affected by contamination with microorganisms. Therefore, researchers in this field must come up with satisfactory solutions to address this problem, by conducting extensive research using various types of nano-oxides within this field. The best example is nano-zinc oxide in concentrations different. In this research, 100% cotton fabric was used, and it was treated with nanometric zinc oxide with different concentrations, which will be mentioned later in the practical part. The research aims to study the effect of the chemical treatment used on the resistance of cotton fabrics to bacteria and fungi, as well as the mechanical properties (cutting strength and elongation) of the treated bandage.

“…Then, six serial dilutions of the neutralizing solution were prepared by adding 1 mL of solution to a test tube previously containing 9 mL of broth (nutrient broth), and plating of dilutions was performed on agar plates. After incubation, the same procedure was repeated and bacterial counts at 0 h and 24 hrs were obtained and antibacterial activity (A) as log reduction was calculated using Equation (1).…”

“…Therefore, nanotechnology is becoming vital to developing multifunctional products at a commercial level. It is worth mentioning that due to its popularity, consistency, reliability, and effectiveness, it is also gaining commercial potential for the textile industry [ 1 ]. The promising properties of nanostructured modified textile materials such as UV protection, antibacterial, and self-cleaning without significantly impairing breathability or hand feel can be achieved due to the large surface area and high surface energy of nanomaterials.…”

Synthesis and modification of nanoparticles to make them suitable to functionalise a substrate for various application fields involves many steps, which are complex, time-consuming, and sometimes require special equipment. This is a major drawback to meet rapid technological requirements. In this work, a procedure has been developed to modify TiO2 nanoparticles by the sol-gel method at their synthesis stage using titanium tetraisopropoxide and modifying agents including ODS and GPTMS. The prepared nanoparticle finish can be used as it is without any further processing, thus eliminating the need for extra steps required to decorate them on some substrate. The nanoparticles were characterised by SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and zeta potential. The adhesion of the obtained nanoparticles was tested by applying them to a cellulosic substrate. The obtained substrate was subjected to mechanical action and adhesion efficiency was estimated on the basis of UV transmittance and antibacterial properties that showed excellent results. The hydrophobic properties of the obtained nanoparticles were assessed by measuring water contact angles, which reached 157.9°, indicating their superhydrophobic nature. The developed procedure is facile and will be suitable for the engineering of multiple surfaces.

Silver and titanium-silver nanoparticles have unique properties that make the textile industry progress through the high quality of textiles. Preparation of AgNPs and TiO2-Ag core–shell nanoparticles in different concentrations (0.01% and 0.1% OWF) and applying it to cotton fabrics (Giza 88 and Giza 94) by using succinic acid 5%/SHP as a cross-linking agent. Ultra-violet visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDX) are tools for AgNPs and TiO2-AgNPs characterization and the treated cotton. The resulting AgNPs and TiO2-AgNPs were added to cotton fabrics at different concentrations. The antimicrobial activities, UV protection, self-cleaning, and the treated fabrics' mechanical characteristics were investigated. Silver nanoparticles and titanium dioxide-silver nanoparticles core–shell were prepared to be used in the treatment of cotton fabrics to improve their UV protection properties, self-cleaning, elongation and strength, as well as the antimicrobial activities to use the produced textiles for medical and laboratory uses and to increase protection for medical workers taking into account the spread of infection. The results demonstrated that a suitable distribution of prepared AgNPs supported the spherical form. Additionally, AgNPs and TiO2-AgNPs have both achieved stability, with values of (− 20.8 mV and − 30 mV, respectively). The synthesized nanoparticles spread and penetrated textiles' surfaces with efficiency. The findings demonstrated the superior UV protection value (UPF 50+) and self-cleaning capabilities of AgNPs and TiO2-AgNPs. In the treatment with 0.01% AgNPs and TiO2-AgNPs, the tensile strength dropped, but the mechanical characteristics were enhanced by raising the concentration to 0.1%. The results of this investigation demonstrated that the cotton fabric treated with TiO2-AgNPs exhibited superior general characteristics when compared to the sample treated only with AgNPs.
