A cotton fabric modified with a hydrogel containing ZnO nanoparticles. Preparation and properties study

Tragacanth gum /nano silver hydrogel on cotton fabric: In-situ synthesis and antibacterial properties

“…Montazer et al prepared PVA-tragacanth/nano silver hydrogel for modification of polyester fabric to produce hydrophilic and anti-bacterial properties for disposable medical and sanitary textile (Montazer & Kahali, 2016). Staneva et al used PVA and acrylamide hydrogel containing ZnO nanoparticles to modify cotton fabric (Staneva et al, 2015). Nazari Pour et al applied polyacrylamide hydrogel on polyester surface for wound dressing (Nazari Pour et al, 2015) and Gorgieva et al worked on carboxymethyl and hydroxyethyl cellulose derivatives hydrogel for the functional finishing of cotton knitwear (Gorgieva & Kokol, 2011).…”

A review of antimicrobial fabric containing nanostructures metal‐based compound

“…ZnO also can be utilized in ointments, lotions, and sunscreens to protect skin from UV illumination due to it serves as the broadest spectrum UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm) reflector . Recently, there are numerous studies investigating the use of ZnO NPs as antibacterial agent on diverse fields such as food , textile , and biomedical applications . Devanand Venkatasubbu et al have applied ZnO on food pathogens namely, Salmonella typhi , Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Shigella flexneri for investigating its antibacterial performance .…”

“…ZnO is susceptible to agglomerate in water due to high polarity of water leading to deposition . Thus, ZnO has been incorporated with many capping agents on synthesis of ZnO nanocomposite coated on textile such as multiamide compound , sulfated β‐cyclodextrin , hexamethyltriethyylene tetramine , chitosan , acacia , PVP , silica , Tragacanth gum , cellulose , polymer diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride‐allyl glycidyl ether‐methacrylic , polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(acrylic acid) , hydrogel , and sodium alginate .…”

Stimuli-responsive Hydrogels for Textile Functionalisation: A Review

“…Poly-NIPAAm-based microgels have been by far the most studied because of the LCST of the polymer, which is in the body temperature range. Microgels based on poly-NIPAAm have been applied to textile substrates alone through gra polymerisation [113], or in combination with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid [78] to chemically bind a microgel with the functional groups of a textile substrate. To improve its mechanical properties and decrease its tendency to coagulate, poly-NIPAAm has been synthesised in combination with other polymers such as the copolymer 2-aminoethyl methacrylate [82].…”

“…To improve its mechanical properties and decrease its tendency to coagulate, poly-NIPAAm has been synthesised in combination with other polymers such as the copolymer 2-aminoethyl methacrylate [82]. To achieve a sterile wound environment, di erent antimicrobial agents have been added to microgels such as silver in various forms [91], zinc oxide [114] and a biocidal agent based on quaternary ammonium salts [113]. Nanogels have been used in the eld of medical textiles as smart coatings for wound dressings, tissue engineering and for the delivery of active substances.…”
