Application of ZnO nanoparticles to enhance the antimicrobial activity and ultraviolet protective property of bamboo pulp fabric

The article presents a simple way of synthesis ZnO nanoparticles on bamboo pulp fabric. In this synthesis, multi-amine compound (HSDA) was applied as a stabilizer and a reductant. The syntheses, performed at various initial Zn (NO3)2in 2 g/l HSDA aqueous solution. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that ZnO nanoparticles had been formed on bamboo pulp fabric. The antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles deposited fabrics was tested. The results indicated that the ZnO-treated fabric showed good bacterial reduction of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Aesthetic Appearance

Background: Mould growth on coated wood products during shipment is the foremost apprehension for most of the wood industries in India. Well finished wood products tend to get deposited by staining moulds superficially in high humidity conditions during shipment. Though wood disfiguring fungi (stain moulds) normally have no significant effect on the mechanical properties of timber, they only affect the aesthetic appearance of the material without destructing the wood cell wall. This causes a huge economic loss to the manufacturer due to disfigurement of the appearance of wood products. Methods: The aim of this work is to test and enhance antimicrobial property of Nitrocellulose lacquer wood finish to prevent mould deposition on coated wood products. The work was carried out to screen and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of commercial Nitrocellulose lacquer. Several patents regarding antimicrobial activity of nano metal oxides have been visited. In order to enhance the mould resistance of this coating, its combinations with neem oil and ZnO nanoparticles were prepared and tested against the growth of staining moulds: Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. on the wood substrate of Melia dubia. The study was carried out for 500 hours under favorable conditions (Temperature and Relative Humidity (RH)) for the mould growth. The growth was analysed on the basis of surface area affected by stain moulds on coated wood samples. Results: The growth analysis data inferred that the ZnO nanoparticles had significant effect against the growth of stain moulds. The presence of ZnO nanoparticles increased the mould growth resistance of Nitrocellulose lacquer coating to a great extent compared to the ability of neem oil for the same. This finding demonstrates the potential use of nano ZnO for increasing the effectiveness of NC lacquer against mould growth without hampering its other properties. Conclusion: 1 % nano ZnO concentration in Nitrocellulose lacquer wood coating increased its efficacy against staining mould growth by 95 %.

Long Time

Nanotechnology advancement leads to development of antimicrobial agents like ZnO nanoparticles. These nanoparticle have their main applications in food packaging. when these nanoparticles incorporate into the food surface, it will kill all bacterias residing on the surface and food become free of bacteria. In this way, food can be stored for a long time because its shelf life is improved. Antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanoparticles can be improved by increasing surface area, reducing particle size and large concentration of ZnO –NPS. Antimicrobial activity increases by increasing intensity of UV light. As UV light fall on ZnO nanoparticles, it increases ZnO surface area and hence anrtimicrobial activity will be increased. Exact mechanism of Antimicrobial activity is still unknown but some processes have been presented.

Bamboo Pulp Fabric

Bamboo pulp fibers, made of fast grown bamboo, were the recycled and environment-friendly natural raw materials in the textile industry which particularly today was paid more attention to its good performance due to energy and environment crisis. Hyper branched polymer was attracted more study because of the vast potential application in the future. In this study, the fabrics were modified with the amino-terminated hyper branched polymer (HBP-NH2) by dipping method and anti-UV and anti-bacterial properties of the treated bamboo pulp fabric were investigated. The results showed that the treated bamboo fabric had good antibacterial properties, the bacteria reduction of S.aureus and E.coli were as high as 89% or more, and also remained at around 88% after 20 times washing. The UPF values were increased from 8.16 to 18.18 which improved the anti-UV property of bamboo fabric.
