The Effects of Oxide Layer on the Joining Performance of CuZr Metallic Glasses

Antimicrobial finishing of textiles using nanomaterials

“…If the balance of these creatures in nature is disturbed, the health of the individual and society will be threatened due to the production and emission of unpleasant odors and the reduction of health standards (Lemire et al, 2013;Gunawan et al, 2011;Damm et al, 2008;Bokov et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2006;Kumar et al, 2013). The presence of microorganisms on textiles can cause adverse effects such as discoloration or staining on textiles, decomposition of fibrous materials, reduced strength, and eventually decay of textiles (Giglio et al, 2013;Appendini and Hotchkiss, 2002;Jasim et al, 2023;Prabhu and Poulose, 2012;Sintubin et al, 2009;Ruparelia et al, 2008). Most fibers and polymers do not show resistance to the effects of microbes and by providing growth factors for microorganisms such as the right temperature and humidity, nutrients from sweat and fat from skin glands, dead skin cells as well as materials used in the stage of finishing the textiles causes the rapid growth and spread of various microbes (Karlsson et al, 2013;Xia et al, 2006;Sondi and Salopek-SoNdi, 2004;Muñoz-Bonilla and Fernández-García, 2012).…”
