Investigating the production and properties of Ag/TiO₂/PP antibacterial nanocomposite filament yarns

Antimicrobial effects of silver zeolite, silver zirconium phosphate silicate and silver zirconium phosphate against oral microorganisms

“…The positive charge of a silver ion is critical for antimicrobial activity, allowing electrostatic attraction between the negative charges of the bacterial cell membrane and positively charged silver particles causing cell membrane rupturing [17,[20][21][22] . Low concentrations of silver ions were demonstrated to have the ability to induce a massive proton leakage through the bacterial membrane causing subsequent cell death [23,24] .…”

“…The plates were left to stay for an hour to facilitate the diffusion of the drug solution. Then the plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated based on zones of growth inhibition (mm).…”

“…Cellulose acetate membrane filters (0.45 µm porosity) (Sartorius, Germany) were placed on the surface of the agar plate and 25 µL of each microbial suspension (10 8 CFU/mL for bacteria and 10 7 CFU/mL for yeast) was dropped onto each filter. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 to 48 h. The MIC values were determined as the lowest concentration of suspension inhibiting the visible growth of each organism on the membranes.…”

Current approaches of managing microbial diseases: focus on nanosciences technique

“…Therefore, metal ions inhibit the multiplication of micro-organisms. Bacteria are not permanently exposed to oxygen radicals and, thus, the ionic additive does not seem to facilitate the selection of resistant strains [20]. For example, attachment of Ag ions or nanoparticles to the bacteria because of electrostatic interaction with negative charge of bacterial cell wall are known as one of the mechanisms of cell death by Ag via rupturing cell membrane [21,22].…”

ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICIENCY OF MODAL FABRIC TREATED WITH OXIDES OF Ti/Si/Zn NANOCOMPOSITES

“…The first includes degradation phenomena like coloring, staining, and determination of fibers and the second, producing an unpleasant odor, and finally, the third effect is an increase of potential health risks. [4][5][6] Hence, it becomes essential that the textile materials should have some form of antibacterial protection imbibed in them if they are designed to use for longer period of time. Application of inorganic nanoparticles and their nanocomposites on textile materials have given a wide opportunity for antimicrobial and multifunctional modification of textiles.…”
