“…Connection to the ‘internet of things’ offers yet further potential for advanced uses. Fabrication of microelectronic devices is now at a level where they can be combined into textiles and allow the unique capabilities of nanomaterials to be exploited to add high added-value functionality to fabrics and garments while retaining other desirable properties such comfort, flexibility, lightness and aesthetic appearance [4] , [6] .

“…With the development of flexible and wearable electronics, smart textiles have been used in various sensors. 11,12 Till now, researchers have developed SERS sensors based on textiles by employing various fabrication methods including dyeing-like method, 13 self-assembling, 14,15 in situ growing, 16,17 and electrospinning. 18,19 Though these methods can produce fine nanoscale patterns, they still have some insufficiencies in terms of time consumption and require a lot of labours for large batch fabrication, which are essential for the practical application in on-site analysis.…”
Glove-based wearable sensors can offer the potential ability to fast and on-site environmental threat assessment, which is crucial for timely and informed incident management. In this work, an on-demand surface-enhanced...
“…For homogenous coating, pre-treatment of fibers with processes such as electrostatic assembly is worth, where it will avoid the electrostatic repulsion between the colloidal particles and textile fibers. The seeded growth method is another approach where Au nano seeds are generated using reducing agents in the presence of textile fibers and Au/textile fiber seeds are used as the aqueous solution to grow the Au nanoparticles [17]. Accordingly, this review provides an overview of the most used methods for AuNPs synthesis and the current reports.…”
Depositing nanoparticles in textiles have been a promising strategy to achieve multifunctional materials. Particularly, antimicrobial properties are highly valuable due to the emergence of new pathogens and the spread of existing ones. Several methods have been used to functionalize textile materials with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Therefore, this review highlighted the most used methods for AuNPs preparation and the current studies on the topic in order to obtain AuNPs with suitable properties for antimicrobial applications and minimize the environmental concerns in their production. Reporting the detailed information on the functionalization of fabrics, yarns, and fibers with AuNPs by different methods to improve the antimicrobial properties was the central objective. The studies combining AuNPs and textile materials have opened valuable opportunities to develop antimicrobial materials for health and hygiene products, as infection control and barrier material, with improved properties. Future studies are needed to amplify the antimicrobial effect of AuNPs onto textiles and minimize the concerns related to the synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
