“…Antibacterials are typically used to improve the resilience against harmful microorganism and increasing the durability of fiber materials. Natural antibacterial agents, such as chitosan (Ammayappan & Jeyakodi, 2009;Aranaz et al, 2009), sericin (Rajendran, Balakumar, Sivakumar, Amruta, & Devaki, 2012), neem extract (Margi & Pratibha, 2014), and natural dyes (Kasiri & Safapour, 2014), have received worldwide interest because of their ecofriendly nature and non-toxic properties. Synthetic organic compounds, such as quaternary ammonium (Harney, Pant, Fulmer, & Wynne, 2009;Huang et al, 2008), polyhexamethylene biguanides (Ashraf et al, 2012), triclosan (Ranganath & Sarkar, 2014), silver nanoparticles (Kim, Park, & Lee, 2011;Mirjalili, Yaghmaei, & Mirjalili, 2013;Maryan, Montazer, & Harifi, 2013), and N-halamine material (Cai et al, 2015), currently dominate the antibacterial market for fibers due to technical advantages.…”

“…The number of different antimicrobial agents suitable for textile application on the market has increased drastically in recent years. Several different types of antimicrobial agents, such as oxidizing agents, coagulants, diphenyl ether (bis‐phenyl) derivatives, heavy metals and metallic compounds and quaternary ammonium compounds are used in the textile industry to confer antimicrobial properties . The selection of the antimicrobial agent depends on the mechanism of antimicrobial activity (bacteria and fungi), toxicity, application method and cost .…”

In recent years, there has been an increase of infectious diseases caused by different microorganisms and the development of antibiotic resistance. In this way, the search for new and efficient antibacterial materials is imperative. The main polysaccharides currently used in the biomedical and pharmaceutical domains are chitin and its derivative chitosan (CH) and alginates (ALG). In this study, a simple technique of Layer by Layer (LbL) of applying polycation CH and polyanion ALG was used to prepare CH/ALG multilayers on cotton samples via the electrostatic assembly with success. The CH/ALG cotton samples (functionalized) were investigated for their antibacterial properties towards Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia using the international standard method JIS L 1902:2002. The antibacterial activity of the functionalized samples was tested in terms of bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity, and results showed that the samples exhibited a bacteriostatic effect on the two bacteria tested, as expected. In addition, samples with five layers (CH/ALG/CH/ALG/CH) were more effective in inhibiting bacterial growth. This new coating for cellulosic fibers is a new strategy and may open new avenues for the development of antimicrobial polymers with potential application in health‐care field.

“…From Figures 5-8, it is clear that curcumin alone possess the best antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi as a result of methoxy and hydroxyl groups existence, which is believed to improve the antimicrobial activity of curcumin extract [28]. The results of antimicrobial activity of curcumin with different fabrics are as follow; firstly, dyed cotton with curcumin extract reveals 87% reduction of Staphylococcus aureus.…”

In this study, eco-friendly natural coloring matter such as pomegranate, curcumin, cutch, red onion peel and a mixture of red onion peel/curcumin (40 g/L, 50%) are used. They are extracted in water at 80°C (red onion at boiling). Cotton, wool, silk and nylon fabrics are dyed using conventional method at pH 4 (except cotton at pH 8), liquor ratio 1:40 and 25 g/L dye concentration for a specific time in presence or absence of FeSO4 using simultaneous mordanting method. Colour strength (K/S) and colorimetric data (L*, a* and b*) are measured at specific λ max . Also, fastness properties (light, washing, rubbing) are determined. Also, ultraviolet protection and antibacterial activity of fabrics against micro-organisms strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella Pneumoniae and Candida albicans are measured. Results of the dyed fabrics are highly UV protective and have effective antibacterial activity. All the above dyed fabrics are suggested to use in the medical cloths.
