“…[5] This approach can produce a nanocomposite that prevents the growth of pathogens and microbial colonization of polymers. [6] Among the nanocomposites, the photocatalyst, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), has been effectively applied to tap water to inactivate bacteria. TiO 2 as distinctive semiconductor photocatalyst can play a role as an anti-pathogenic agent.…”

Sol-gel and melt-mixing processes, which are used for the synthesis of lowdensity polyethylene/silver/titanium dioxide nanocomposites, can inactivate pathogens. In the sol-gel method, the nanocomposites were used to treat four selected microorganisms using the disk-diffusion method. In the melt-mixing method, fish coverage films were used to examine the shelf life of fish. TiO 2 along with different concentrations of Ag (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%) generated the nanocomposites. The maximum inhibition zone diameters (mm) for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger in 3% Ag were measured. It was concluded that applying the LDPE/Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites produced could be beneficial for inactivation of pathogens. ARTICLE HISTORY

Demand for antimicrobial fabrics has grown significantly in recent years because of public awareness of the potential threat of spreading diseases and there will be an increasing role for medical textiles in the future world market. The number of applications of polymeric materials for medical purposes is growing very fast. Polymers have found applications in such diverse biomedical fields as tissue engineering, implantation of medical devices and artificial organs, prostheses, ophthalmology, dentistry, bone repair and many other medical fields. Polymer-based delivery systems enable controlled release of drugs into the body. The aim of the present review is to clarify the antimicrobial agents and their mechanism of action, test methods, and the recent developments in antimicrobial functional finishing of synthetic fibers for medical applications (commercially available bioactive fibers).

Summary: TiO2 nanoparticles were introduced into linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) composite films in the form of master batch where TiO2 was pre‐dispersed in LDPE by melt compounding. The dispersion behavior of TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated by field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM). The rheology results show that the viscosity of LDPE/TiO2 master batch is lower than that of LLDPE/LDPE composites. Energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer (EDS) composition distribution map indicates that TiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed randomly in the master batch. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that LDPE/TiO2 master batch is crushed into micron scale dispersed phases due to the shear stress during the blow‐forming process. Subsequently, TiO2 nanoparticles in the dispersed phases are released into the ambient matrix and form a wide ring composed of monodispersed particles. The sizes of spherical crystals decrease due to the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles in LLDPE/LDPE/TiO2 nanocomposites. The transparency of LLDPE/LDPE/TiO2 composite films decreases little compared to that of LLDPE/LDPE composite films.SEM image of TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed randomly in LLDPE/LDPE/TiO2 composite films.magnified imageSEM image of TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed randomly in LLDPE/LDPE/TiO2 composite films.
