“…31 (Doremalen et al 2020 ). Moreover, copper-based nanoparticles were found to inactivate H1N1 influenza virus particles (Fujimori et al 2009 ), eliminate other virus’ strands (Ravishankar Rai and a. Jamuna Bai, 2011 ; Shionoiri et al 2012 ), and possess antibacterial properties (Suryaprabha and Sethuraman 2017 ; Anita et al 2011 ; Agrawal et al 2019 ). Meguid and Elzaabalawy (Meguid and Elzaabalawy 2020 ; Elzaabalawy and Meguid 2020b ) proposed a three-step combating strategy that involves encapsulation, contamination suppression, and virus elimination, as schematically shown in Fig.…”

Superhydrophobicity and icephobicity are governed by surface chemistry and surface structure. These two features signify a potential advance in surface engineering and have recently garnered significant attention from the research community. This review aims to simulate further research in the development of superhydrophobic and icephobic surfaces in order to achieve their wide-spread adoption in practical applications. The review begins by establishing the fundamentals of the wetting phenomenon and wettability parameters. This is followed by the recent advances in modeling and simulations of the response of superhydrophobic surfaces to static and dynamic droplets contact and impingement, respectively. In view of their versatility and multifunctionality, a special attention is given to the development of these surfaces using nanocomposites. Furthermore, the review considers advances in icephobicity, its comprehensive characterization and its relation to superhydrophobicity. The review also includes the importance of the use of superhydrophobic surface to combat viral and bacterial contamination that exist in fomites.

“…Another study has affirmed that the antibacterial activity of fabrics functionalized with CuO NPs after 30 washes is slightly lower than that without washing and that this behavior is associated with a decrease in the amount of CuO NPs on the fabric surface due to the dissolution of copper ions in the washing solution [ 52 , 63 ]. Thus, repeated washings do not significantly affect the antibacterial behavior of fabrics functionalized with CuO NPs, thereby indicating the durability of the antimicrobial property [ 56 , 63 , 67 , 76 ]. The presence of CuO NPs may, nonetheless, slightly decrease the wettability of treated cotton fabrics [ 57 ].…”

Textiles functionalized with cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have become a promising option to prevent the spread of diseases due to their antimicrobial properties, which strongly depend on the structure and morphology of the nanoparticles and the method used for the functionalization process. This article presents a review of work focused on textiles functionalized with CuO nanoparticles, which were classified into two groups, namely, in situ and ex situ. Moreover, the analyzed bacterial strains, the resistance of the antimicrobial properties of textiles to washing processes, and their cytotoxicity were identified. Finally, the possible antimicrobial mechanisms that could develop in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were described.

“…7 In addition, antibacterial fibres or textiles have attracted attention because they can be used for masks, medical clothing, wound dressings, and sutures, among other applications. [8][9][10][11] Previously, we observed that metals, such as calcium (Ca), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), could be doped into raw silk fabrics by soaking in calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ), copper chloride (CuCl 2 ) and zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 ) aqueous solutions and that the metal-doped raw silk fabrics demonstrated strong antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli by releasing metal ions. 12 This suggests that the metal-doped raw silk fabrics could be used to effectively prevent HAIs.…”

Indirect cytotoxicity evaluations of antibacterial raw silk fabric doped with calcium, copper and zinc on fibroblasts and osteoblasts

Antibacterial materials are widely used to prevent hospital-acquired infections. In our previous report, metal (calcium, copper or zinc)-doped raw silk fabrics were shown to possess strong antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli. However, antibacterial materials may occasionally be harmful to the human body; thus, in this study, we investigated the cytotoxicities of extracts from metal-doped raw silk fabrics with respect to fibroblasts and osteoblasts indirectly. Calcium-doped raw silk fabric demonstrated cytocompatibility with fibroblasts. Contrarily, copper- and zinc-doped raw silk fabrics remarkably decreased the cell densities of fibroblasts, indicating their cytotoxic effects. This observation could be attributed to the high concentrations of the released copper or zinc ions. However, calcium-, copper- and zinc-doped raw silk fabrics did not demonstrate any cytotoxic effects on osteoblasts because a high concentration of the serum alleviated the effects of these metal ions released from the fabrics. Thus, calcium-doped raw silk fabric is a promising antibacterial material that does not induce strong cytotoxicity. This study will facilitate the design of materials that are both antibacterial and safe.
