“…Moreover, the antimicrobial efficacy is retained, although it is diminished with repeated detergent washing. The finding of such stable antimicrobial activity is consistent with the previous descriptions of persistent antimicrobial activity despite frequent washing only when QAC is covalently bonded to a fabric surface Seshadri and Bhat, 2005;Kimiran and Sanli, 2008;Heliopoulos et al, 2013 . This report may provide for the first time the results of a study using human hair as a carrier for antimicrobial treatments. Based on these findings, we suggest that accelerated washing test.…”

Dandruff and underarm malodor are caused by microorganisms. Personal hygiene products that contain various types of antimicrobial agents are available and are used for the prevention and alleviation of these conditions. However, their effects are not significant and often do not last long. Working toward a solution, hair was treated with thioglycolic acid, a reducing agent, and then with 2-acryloyloxy ethyl trimethylammonium chloride to covalently bond and immobilize quaternary ammonium chloride QAC to hair shafts. Fourier transform infrared analysis confirmed the bonding of QAC. Time-kill assays were performed to evaluate the antimicrobial activities against two yeast strains responsible for dandruff, two bacterial strains responsible for underarm malodor, and two typical bacterial skin microflora strains. The time-kill assays revealed the antimicrobial effects of QAC against all tested microorganisms. Washing with detergents decreased the antimicrobial effects compared to hair not washed with detergent. This method could potentially replace personal hygiene products, such as shampoos and antiperspirants, which act as antimicrobial agents in the prevention and alleviation of dandruff and underarm malodor.Key words Hair / Antimicrobial activity / Quaternary ammonium chloride / Dandruff / Underarm malodor. INTRODUCTIONDandruff is a condition in which pieces of dead keratinocytes become visible on the scalp. Dandruff is the most common scalp condition that is often accompanied by itching and erythema Rapini et al., 2007 . The complex causes of dandruff include excess sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands, hormonal imbalance, and excessive proliferation of Malassezia species in the scalp. Malassezia species are yeasts that are found in many environments including the skin, particularly in sebaceous skin areas, such as the scalp, face, and chest. The viable numbers of these yeasts reportedly increase 1.5-2-fold in numbers when dandruff is present Ranganathan and Mukhopadhyay, 2010 . These species degrade triglycerides in the sebum to produce oleic acid, which is absorbed into the stratum corneum. After absorption, oleic acid causes an inflammatory response in keratinocytes, which disrupts homeostasis, leading to the erratic cleavage of keratinocytes, and ultimately to dandruff Dawson, 2006 . Underarm malodor often arises after puberty. In extreme cases, the objectionable malodor can limit normal social activities for the affected person. Humans have two types of sweat glands, namely apocrine and eccrine sweat glands. Underarm malodor is caused by the degradation of secreted milky odorless liquid consisting of electrolytes, steroids, proteins, and lipids from the apocrine glands onto the skin surface by the gram-positive bacteria Corynebacterium xerosis and C. jeikeium, which reside on the skin surface Labows et al., 1979;Leyden et al., 1981;Stefaniak et al., 2010;Noël et al., 2012 . The bacterial biotransformation produces 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 3-methyl-3-hydroxy hexanoic acid, 5 -...

Copper(i)oxide microparticles – synthesis and antimicrobial finishing of textiles

Copper containing particles are of high interest to provide antibacterial activity to textiles for medical products, hygiene application or where odor formation as result of bacterial activity has to be controlled. Cu(I)oxide microparticles with a rather uniform diameter between 1.5 and 2 µ m can be prepared by controlled reduction of alkaline Cu(II)-tartaric acid complexes. Such particles can be bound to textile surfaces by means of a pigment binder system used in pigment dyeing. By a simple pad-dry process textile fabrics with a Cu-content of 250 -270 mg Cu / kg fabric could be prepared. The samples (fabrics) exhibited a reduction in viability of 100 % for Staphylococcus aureus and 84 % for Klebsiella pneumonia as estimated by the ASTM E2149 antimicrobial test. Simulated wash procedures led to a reduction in Cu-content to 60 -50 % of the initial value. Reduction in viability remained at 99 % for Staphylococcus aureus and 78 % for Klebsiella pneumoniae. The new process is of high value to impart antimicrobial properties to textile products because an antimicrobial product with good wash permanence can be delivered using rather simple processing and ordinary chemicals. Experimental Material and ChemicalsCopper(I)oxide microparticles were be bound to textile surfaces by means of a pigment binder system to provide antibacterial activity with good wash permanence, using rather simple processing and ordinary chemicals.

“…Hence, the microorganism's propagation on WO fabric induced health problems such as skin irritating . There are several researches that studied the antibacterial activity of WO fabric functionalized with different potential NPs such as Ag , Cu , TiO 2 , and SiO 2 [16]. The features of WO facilitate the bonding formation with NPs which are favorable to a long‐term antibacterial performance.…”

“…Hence, it generates excellent antimicrobial efficiency of WO fabric in the long run. According to Heliopoulos et al, the usage of alginate increases the copper sorbing capacity due to its structure comprised of abundant carboxylic groups (COOH) that forms bonds with mercapto groups, carboxylic or sulfonic groups of WO keratin, thus offering excellent antibacterial effect . The CMC lipid layer inside cortical cell of WO fiber making the surface of WO hydrophobic, results the difficulties in process of dyeing and finishing of fabric.…”

Textile can be a potential microorganism's propagation site because it contacts with human skin endows optimal conditions combination of nutrient sources, temperature, and moisture which provides conducive environment for microorganism growth. Thus, the development of antibacterial textile is crucial to inhibit the growth of microorganisms for protection the health and safety of wearer. This review article focuses on several metal-based nanoparticles possess biocidal feature namely, Ag, ZnO, Cu based, TiO 2 , and other minor metals based such as iron based, CeO 2 , Au, SiO 2 , Ni, and Pt. The phenomenology of metal nanoparticles associated to the antibacterial effects and possible mechanisms of action against bacteria have been highlighted. This review also discussed the synthesis techniques and effects of incorporation additive materials of those metal-based nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. J. VINYL ADDIT.
