Bactericidal functionalization of wrinkle-free fabrics via covalently bonding TiO2@Ag nanoconjugates

Effect Of Dyeing On Wrinkle Properties Of Cotton Cross-Linked By Butane Tetracarboxylic Acid (BTCA) In Presence Of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nanoparticles

“…The wrinkle-resistant property of cotton specimens treated by BTCA and catalysed by SHP in the presence of TiO 2 or nano-TiO 2 has been evaluated elsewhere [20,25]. Different concentrations of TiO 2 or nano-TiO 2 used in the wrinkle resistant finishing process have been experimented in order to determine their optimum concentrations [20][21][22][23]. There will defiantly be finishing and dying process influences on the fabrics' hand and their overall performance.…”

Betaine ester-shell functionalized hyperbranched polymers for potential antimicrobial usage: Guest loading capability, pH controlled release and adjustable compatibility

“…Microbial contamination and the associated risk are great challenges towards medical implants [1e4], textiles [5,6], food and water security [7e9] and biosensors [10,11]. Till now, antimicrobial materials employing various protection mechanisms have been developed.…”

Micellar layer-by-layer synthesis of TiO2/Ag hybrid particles for bactericidal and photocatalytic activities

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] On the other hand, silver (Ag) nanoparticles have long been known to liberate silver ions in liquids that show a broad spectrum over the antimicrobial activities. 9,10 Immobilization of Ag nanoparticles on TiO 2 to form hybrid composite particles with tailored structure and surface functionality has been demonstrated to show improved photocatalytic activity, 3,[11][12][13] as well as bactericidal activity [14][15][16] without the need of UV irradiation. * Corresponding author.…”

“…Considerable success has been achieved recently in terms of the variety of well-defined composite structure and the versatility of the synthesis process. In view of the literature, [11][12][13][14]16 preparation of the hybrid TiO 2 /Ag particles often involves a preferential deposition of silver nuclei followed then by the growth of silver layer, or by a direct coating from the silver nanoparticles on surface of TiO 2 with a specific surface modification prior the silver deposition. A wide range of wet chemical routes has been reported, including electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, surface chemical reaction, photochemical reduction, polyol process, ultrasonic electrodeposition, and soft template process.…”

“…A wide range of wet chemical routes has been reported, including electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, surface chemical reaction, photochemical reduction, polyol process, ultrasonic electrodeposition, and soft template process. [11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20] For the heterogeneous nucleation and growth of silver shell on TiO 2 particles, surface pre-treatment is required in order to facilitate formation of effective chemical bonding sites on the TiO 2 surface before the Ag shell can be formed. The surface modification becomes indispensable when vitreophobic aggregation of the metallic Ag needs to be suppressed.…”
