This article is an overview of a novel polymerization technique known as admicellar polymerization (ADPM).ADPM is known as a "surface analogue" of emulsion polymerization, and it consists of three main steps that include (1) admicelle formation, (2) adsolubilization, and (3) polymerization. This review encompasses all the applications of ADPM in the field of textiles. ADPM has been used mainly for finishing of textiles, e.g., for achieving flame retardancy, UV protection, water repellency, etc. It has also been used for improving the adhesion of natural fibers used for the reinforcement of polymer matrices. It was observed that though an extensive and constructive research work has been conducted at laboratory level to understand ADPM process and explore its applications, its industrial acceptance in textiles has not been reported yet. Scope for further research has also been discussed in this review article. C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Adv Polym Technol 2015, 0, 21556; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.

“…The first includes degradation phenomena like coloring, staining, and determination of fibers and the second, producing an unpleasant odor, and finally, the third effect is an increase of potential health risks. [4][5][6] Hence, it becomes essential that the textile materials should have some form of antibacterial protection imbibed in them if they are designed to use for longer period of time. Application of inorganic nanoparticles and their nanocomposites on textile materials have given a wide opportunity for antimicrobial and multifunctional modification of textiles.…”

The antibacterial efficiency of nano TiO2, TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/ZnO and TiO2/SiO2/ZnO Nanocomposites coated on modal fabric using dip coating was evaluated using Fourier infrared spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and zone of inhibition against Bacillus subttilis. The particle size varies between 17.9 nm to 46.4 nm. The fabric treated with TiO2/SiO2/ZnO exhibited a maximum zone of inhibition of 53 mm followed by 47 mm and 43 mm for TiO2 and TiO2/ZnO treated fabrics respectively.TiO2/SiO2 treated fabric has shown a minimal zone of inhibition of 36 mm.

N-bromo-hydantoin and N-bromo-5,50 -dimethylhydantoin conjugated polystyrene beads were synthesized from chloromethyl polystyrene beads which differ in their particles size, crosslinking, nano-micro porosity, and tunnels size on the surface, in order to study the effect of these parameters on oxidative halogen release and resultant activity, for water purification applications. The synthesized beads were characterized using elemental analysis, FT-IR, solid state 13 C-NMR, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The conjugation yield and kinetics in different solvents and bromine loading capacity were studied. The N-bromoamine polystyrene beads were tested for water decontamination according to NSF 231 protocol. The release of active bromine was analyzed by spectrophotometer using a DPD-1 kit and also studied the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and MS2 phages. Bead's nano-micro characteristics were found critical for oxidative halogen release control: rate stabilization and modulation, extension and also influences antimicrobial activity. The synthesized beads exhibited extended and stable release of bromine, 6 and 4 log reduction for E. coli and MS2, respectively for 250 L of passing contaminated water. Thus, N-halamine hydantoins conjugated polystyrenes, chemically or kinetically release modified should have applications as disinfectants in water purification systems as well as medical field.
