“…For antibacterial and antimicrobial textile finishing, various biocides like silver, triclosan, chitosan, quaternary ammonium salts, N-halamines, biguanide derivatives, synthetic dyes, and peroxyacids have been applied to textile surfaces [52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. Sol-gel technology as an alternative method can bring advantages like ecological treatment, less chemical use, low-temperature processing, low toxicity to human health, protection of inherent properties of textile material, and excellent washing and usage durability in this finishing process [52,55,[59][60][61].…”

In the chapter, sol-gel applications in textile finishing process such as flame retardancy, water, oil repellency, ultraviolet (UV) protection, self-cleaning, and antibacterial and antiwrinkle processes are reviewed. Sol-gel technology is well known in materials, metallurgy, ceramic, and glass industry since 1960 and has been researched in textile industry in the last decade. Sol-gel technology has some advantages when compared to conventional textile finishing process. Sol-gel technology, which is a method applied to the inorganic metal alkoxide or metal salts to organic textile materials, could impart the high, durable activity and multifunctional properties to different textile materials in the same bath at one step using low concentration of precursors. In addition, sol-gel technology presents alternatively economical, ecological, and environmental friendly process due to one-step application, using low concentration of chemicals, nonhalogenated chemicals, and nonformaldehyde release when compared to conventional processes.

Cotton fabrics with single-faced flame resistance are successfully fabricated through a simple mist copolymerization process using pentabromobenzyl acrylate (PBBA) as the functional monomer. The comonomers are methyl acrylate (MA), which can react with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose by transesterification, and divinyl benzene (DVB), a cross-linker. SEM images indicate that a very thin copolymer layer (the thickness is about 200 nm) was formed on the cotton fiber surface and the flame resistance tests show that the modified fabrics have an improved flammability with longer time to ignition (TTI), lower peak heat release rate (PHRR), lower total heat release (THR), and lower average mass loss rate (AMLR), when compared to the original cotton fabric. The modification also results in good wearing durability because the flame-retardant coating was covalently linked to the cotton fabric surface by many ester groups. Moreover, desired cotton characteristics such as tensile strength, water absorbency, vapor permeability and flexibility are mostly retained because the mist method gives a single-faced modification of the cotton fabrics.

Microbial contamination on cotton textiles (CT) negatively affects people's health as well as the textile itself during use and storage. Using antimicrobial CT in a body‐safe manner is currently still a challenge because it is difficult to balance killing microbes and protecting skin flora. Herein, a borneol‐decorated CT (BDCT) through coupling of borneol 4‐formylbenzoate molecules onto the amino‐modified CT is reported. This BDCT shows strong and broad‐spectrum microbially antiadhesive activities against gram‐positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis), gram‐negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungi (Aspergillus niger, Mucor racemosus, and Candida albicans). Because of its unique stereochemical microbial antiadhesion mechanism, BDCT is harmless to skin flora. In addition, BDCT exhibits prominent durability of microbially antiadhesive capability by bearing 50 times of accelerated laundering. Therefore, this stereochemical BDCT strategy shows great potential for applications in the new generation of textiles, food packaging, and medical protection.
