“…Whereas the thermal stability of cellulose fibers was not improved by ZnO, the amount of char residue was significantly increased [13,96,142]. In contrast, the thermal stability of ZnO-treated polyester fibers even decreased compared to untreated fibers [143]. However, the loading of ZnO onto an organic-inorganic hybrid soloxane polymer film significantly modified a decomposition pathway of the coating, which significantly enhanced the thermal stability of the polyester fibers [106].…”

“…There are only a few papers involving ZnO-based flame-retardant textiles. In these studies, ZnO alone or in combination with organic phosphorus compounds was applied to cotton, polyester or cotton/polyester blends [7,84,[142][143][144], but for technical applications, jute and sisal fibers were also used as textile substrates [6,96]. The results showed that the flame retardancy of ZnO-coated cellulose fibers was significantly enhanced if bulk ZnO was replaced with ZnO NPs [6].…”

Zinc Oxide for Functional Textile Coatings: Recent Advances

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of ZnO for the functionalization of textile substrates is growing rapidly, since it can provide unique multifunctional properties, such as photocatalytic self-cleaning, antimicrobial activity, UV protection, flame retardancy, thermal insulation and moisture management, hydrophobicity, and electrical conductivity. This paper aims to review the recent progress in the fabrication of ZnO-functionalized textiles, with an emphasis on understanding the specificity and mechanisms of ZnO action that impart individual properties to the textile fibers. The most common synthesis and application processes of ZnO to textile substrates are summarized. The influence of ZnO concentration, particle size and shape on ZnO functionality is presented. The importance of doping and coupling procedures to enhance ZnO performance is highlighted. The need to use binding and seeding agents to increase the durability of ZnO coatings is expressed. In addition to functional properties, the cytotoxicity of ZnO coatings is also discussed. Future directions in the use of ZnO for textile functionalization are identified as well.

“…Through a comparison of different concentrations (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%) of ZnO dispersions either in water or methanol to make the surface of ZnO-polyester composite textile materials, Rimbu et al . 26 demonstrated that the larger concentration leads to agglomerations and a diminished coating quality. In order to mitigate the problem of aggregation, the process of sonication can be used.…”

The paper reports a biosensor formed from antibody coated ZnO nano-crystals which has been prepared using a rapid and inexpensive fabrication method which utilises colloidal dispersion enhanced using sonication. This technique was used to prepare highly ordered and uniform nano-crystalline sensor surfaces on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using 0.5%, 1% and 5% concentrations of zinc oxide nano-crystal suspensions. Impedance spectroscopy was employed to interrogate the sensor surfaces and confirmed high reproducibility of the fabrication process. Changes in impedance values, at a frequency of 138 Hz, were used to establish dose dependent responses for C-reactive protein (CRP) antigen. A limit of detection of less than 1 ng/ml was demonstrated for nano-surfaces fabricated from concentrations of 1% ZnO.

This paper describes self-reinforced antibacterial and oil-resistant properties that were successfully prepared by surface selective dissolution of filter paper in a NaOH/Urea/ZnO (weight ratio of 8:12:0.25) aqueous solution. The effect of the processing time on the mechanical properties of this paper was evaluated at -12°C. The paper morphologies were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The oil-resistance and antibacterial properties of the produced paper were also investigated. Excellent mechanical properties were observed for an optimized handling time. The tensile and burst strengths of the modified paper were in excess of 100% of the original. Meanwhile, the treated paper was completely oil-resistant within 24 h and demonstrated good antibacterial properties when exposed to Staphylococcus aureus. The traces of residual zinc oxide were found to be safe for food.
