“…In earlier studies, Balamurugan et al synthesized silver nanoparticles by a green method and coated it onto a cotton fabric using ultra sonication processes to test for its antibacterial activity [18]. The modified silver nanoparticles were used with PDDA coating for effective absorbance of the silver nanoparticles on to the cotton fabrics [19][20]. However the application of this coated textile fabric were not stated or mentioned elsewhere in this study.…”

“…(iii) These nanofinishings are more durable due to the increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials along with its homogenous distribution in textile material. (iv) Certain functionalities that are hard to attain by traditional finishes could possibly be developed by nanofinishing (Gokarneshan et al, 2018, [ 61 ]), (Ghosh et al, 2020, [ 62 ]). For almost two decades, the nano-finishing of cellulose textile material while using copper and copper oxide nanoparticles has been in the focus of science and textile industries (Radetic et al, 2019, [ 63 ]).…”

At present, nanotechnology is a priority in research in several nations due to its massive capability and financial impact. However, due to the uncertainties and abnormalities in shape, size, and chemical compositions, the existence of certain nanomaterials may lead to dangerous effects on the human health and environment. The present review includes the different advanced applications of nanomaterials in textiles industries, as well as their associated environmental and health risks. The four main textile industry fields using nanomaterials, nanofinishing, nanocoatings, nanofibers, and nanocomposites, are analyzed. Different functional textiles with nanomaterials are also briefly reviewed. Most textile materials are in direct and prolonged contact with our skin. Hence, the influence of carcinogenic and toxic substances that are available in textiles must be comprehensively examined. Proper recognition of the conceivable benefits and accidental hazards of nanomaterials to our surroundings is significant for pursuing its development in the forthcoming years. The conclusions of the current paper are anticipated to increase awareness on the possible influence of nanomaterial-containing textile wastes and the significance of better regulations in regards to the ultimate disposal of these wastes.

“…Commonly, the warp yarns are colored with indigo and the wefts are not colored, however, the face of denim looks bluish because of the weaving method. [1,2] Cotton fabric is sized with starch to tolerate high frictions through weaving and to pose pilling. [3] The sized denim fabric is susceptible to microorganisms that use starch and cellulose molecules as nutrients and render skin diseases.…”

Microbial susceptibility of the denim fabric sized by starch raises some skin health concerns about this extensively used fabric. In this work, biocompatible antibacterial denim fabric is prepared by optimized green synthesis of the copper(I) oxide (Cu 2 O) nanoparticles on the cotton fibers. The copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized without using any toxic chemical to reduce the copper salt. As an alternative, the waste of the sugar refinery factory, molasses, was used as eco-friendly and cost-efficient material. The antibacterial activity of the samples against Candida albicans as model fungus, Escherichia coli as Gram-negative, and Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive model bacteria is investigated besides cytotoxicity; also, the synthesis process is optimized regarding the most biocompatible and antibacterial nanocomposite. The characterizations prove the effectiveness of the molasses for reduction of the copper salt and formation of the copper(I) oxide (Cu 2 O) nanoparticles. Synthesis of the copper(I) oxide (Cu 2 O) nanoparticles has a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite. The results of this work introduce a green method for sustainable development of the fabric industry; it also presents a potential application for molasses and reutilizing it.
