“…They have great potential for use in the textile industry due to their unique set of properties: low specific density, high thermal and chemical stability, biocompatibility, good adsorption capacity, enhanced photocatalytic properties, hydrophobicity, antibacterial activity, and wide band gap. Hexagonal BN NPs were reported to be highly biocompatible, , clinically safe, and widely used in cosmetics . BN NPs demonstrate antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and others. , Recently, an improvement in heat and fire resistance of BN-modified cotton fabric has been reported. , The hydrophobic properties of a hybrid nanotextile material obtained by modifying an unbleached tent fabric (100% cellulose530 g/m 2 ) with two types of h -BN NPs (produced by Hammer and exfoliation methods) were demonstrated .…”
