Formulation and Evaluation of Organic Antibacterial Coatings

Novel Strategy for Synthesis of ZnO Microparticles Loaded Cotton Fabrics and Investigation of their Antibacterial Properties

“…For this purpose, antimicrobial properties are being imparted to textile materials by chemically or physically incorporating various functional antibacterial agents onto fibers or fabrics by different techniques [1][2]. For years, organic compounds such as halogenated hydantoins have been employed in textile finishing processes as antibacterial agents [3][4]. However, N-helamine compounds have adequate solubility in water to allow a residual halogen concentration in excess of that required for disinfection [5].…”
