Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber is applied to clothing, home textiles and other fields because of its low cost, high strength, quick-drying and stable structure, etc. Polyester fiber generally doesn’t have the ability to kill bacteria, and it is a kind of porous material which is conducive to the microbial adhesion and spread of bacteria. In the present study, Cu-ZnO and its antibacterial PET fibers were prepared by sol–gel method and melt spinning, respectively. The structures and compositions of Cu-ZnO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The crystallization and melting behavior of the PET/Cu-ZnO (0.05:1) composites were tested by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the temperate of melt spinning. The morphologies and mechanical properties of antibacterial polyester fiber were studied by field emission scanning electron micrographs (FE-SEM) and strength machine, respectively. The antibacterial properties of the samples on E. coli and S. aureus were determined using powder inhibition zones and antibacterial rate. The results show that the fibers exhibited excellent antibacterial activity, it had obvious inhibiting effects on E. coli and S. aureus and the antibacterial rate were both above 90%.

Antibacterial Performance

Due to its excellent mechanical property, dye ability and skin affinity, PA6 has been widely used in apparel, home textiles, military products, etc. However, PA6 fiber is easy to breed bacteria and corroded by bacteria in humid environment. One of development tendency of functional PA6 fiber is to design and develop nylon 6 fiber with excellent antibacterial properties, which is also the research target of this paper. In the present investigation, ZnO antibacterial agent was prepared through sol-gel method, and antibacterial masterbatch was acquired via blending antibacterial agent with PA6 using a twin-screw, then antibacterial PA6 fiber was obtained through melt spinning. The thermal properties, crystallization property of antibacterial PA6 masterbatch were discussed. The effect of drawing ratio on fiber strength, elongation of break, orientation and crystallization was also investigated. The antibacterial properties of antibacterial agent and antibacterial PA6 fiber was analyzed by agar diffusion method. The results of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) suggests that the antibacterial agent causes the rise of crystallization temperature and crystallization rate. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and mechanical testing results reveal that the higher drawing ratio leads to higher orientation and strength of PA6 fiber, lower elongation at break. The addition of antibacterial agent increases the degree of orientation and crystallization, reduces the strength of fiber and tends to form α crystalline in PA6 fiber. Antibacterial tests show that antibacterial PA6 fiber has a good antibacterial performance against Staphylococcus aureus.

Bacteria existing on the surfaces of various materials can be both a source of infection and an obstacle to the proper functioning of structures. Increased resistance to colonization by microorganisms can be obtained by applying antibacterial coatings. This paper describes the influence of surface wettability and amount of antibacterial additive (Zn) on bacteria settlement on modified SiO2-based coatings. The coatings were made by sol-gel method. The sols were prepared on the basis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), modified with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and the addition of zinc nitrate or zinc acetate. Roughness and surface wettability tests, as well as study of the chemical structure of the coatings were carried out. The antibacterial properties of the coatings were checked by examining their susceptibility to colonization by Escherichia coli. It was found that the addition of zinc compound reduced the susceptibility to colonization by E. coli, while in the studied range, roughness and hydrophobicity did not affect the level of bacteria adhesion to the coatings.

Ag-natural rubber (Ag-NR) hybrid sheets were successfully prepared with a very simple and low cost method. In this method, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were firstly synthesized by a rapid and green microwave-assisted using polyvinylpyrroridone (PVP) media. The effect of PVP weight ratios towards the size of AgNPs was also investigated. Then, Ag-NR hybrid sheet samples were prepared by latex mixing-casting method using concentrated natural rubber (NR) latex with the synthesized AgNPs colloids. The characteristic absorption, particles sizes and shapes of the obtained AgNPs were examined through UV-vis, TEM and SAED. Also, the prepared Ag-NR sheet samples were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDS techniques. It was found that the particles sizes of all the synthesized AgNPs had spherical-like shape, and the mean sizes were increased from 29.7 to 90.4 nm upon increasing PVP contents. EDS results showed the AgNPs were well-dispersed and impregnated into the rubber matrix. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of the prepared Ag-NR sheets were tested by agar disk-diffusion method with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) and Escherichia coli(E. coli), respectively. The results showed that the hybrid sheets exhibited excellent antibacterial properties against these bacteria, in which the zones of inhibition were also dependent on the synthesized AgNPs by utilizing the different amounts of PVP.

The aim of this work was the synthesis of hybrid materials of iron (II)-based therapeutic systems via the sol-gel method. Increasing amounts of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6, 12, 24, 50 wt%) were added to SiO2/Fe20 wt% to modulate the release kinetics of the drug from the systems. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the interactions between different components in the hybrid materials. The release kinetics in a simulated body fluid (SBF) were investigated, and the amount of Fe2+ released was detected via ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) after reaction with ortho-phenanthroline. Furthermore, biological characterization was carried out. The bioactivity of the synthesized hybrid materials was evaluated via the formation of a layer of hydroxyapatite on the surface of samples soaked in SBF using spectroscopy. Finally, the potential antibacterial properties of seven different materials against two different bacteria—E. coli and S. aureus—were investigated.

Bactericidal Effects

Metal oxide-polymer nanocomposite has been proven to have selective bactericidal effects against the main and common pathogens (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli)) that can cause harmful infectious diseases. As such, this study looked into the prospect of using TiO2/ZnO with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) to inactivate S. aureus and E. coli. The physical, structural, chemical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of the nanocomposite were investigated in detail in this paper. The production of reactive species, such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), holes (h+), superoxide anion radicals (O2•¯), and zinc ion (Zn2+), released from the nanocomposite were quantified to elucidate the underlying antibacterial mechanisms. LLDPE/25T75Z with TiO2/ZnO (1:3) nanocomposite displayed the best performance that inactivated S. aureus and E. coli by 95% and 100%, respectively. The dominant reactive active species and the zinc ion release toward the superior antibacterial effect of nanocomposite are discussed. This work does not only offer depiction of the effective element required for antimicrobial biomedical appliances, but also the essential structural characteristics to enhance water uptake to expedite photocatalytic activity of LLDPE/metal oxide nanocomposite for long term application.

Nanometer-sized In particles (5−45 nm) embedded in the Al matrix were prepared by using melt-spinning and ball-milling techniques. Different crystallographic orientationships between In nanoparticles and the Al matrix were constructed by these two approaches. Melting behavior of the In particles were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the epitaxially oriented In nanoparticles (with the Al matrix) in the melt-spun sample were superheated to about 0−38 °C, whereas the randomly oriented In particles in the ball-milled sample melted below its equilibrium melting point by about 0−22 °C. We suggest that the melting temperature of In nanoparticles can be either enhanced or depressed, depending on the epitaxy between In and the Al matrix.

The use of oral iron integration is commonly recommended for the treatment of iron deficiency, nevertheless the diagnosis and treatment of this disease could clearly be improved. The aim of this work was the synthesis of therapeutic systems, iron (II) based, by sol-gel method. In an SiO2 matrix, we embedded different weight percentages of polyethylene glycol (PEG6, 12, 24 wt%) and ferrous citrate (Fe(II)C5, 10, 15 wt%) for drug delivery applications. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the interactions among different components in the hybrid materials. Release kinetics in a simulated body fluid (SBF) were investigated and the amount of Fe2+ released was detected by Ultraviolet–Visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) after reaction with ortho-phenantroline. Furthermore, the biological characterization was carried out. The bioactivity of the synthesized hybrid materials was evaluated by the formation of a layer of hydroxyapatite on the surface of samples soaked in SBF using FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, also, the potential antibacterial properties of the different materials against two different bacteria, E. coli and P. aeruginosa, were investigated.

WO3-doped TiO2coating on charcoal activated (CA) was prepared by microwave-assisted sol-gel method. The samples calcined at the temperature of 500°C for 2 h with a heating rate of 10°C/min were characterized by XRD, EDS, and SEM. The photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of WO3-doped TiO2coating on CA were investigated by means of degradation of a methylene blue (MB) solution and against the bacteriaE. coli, respectively. The effects of WO3concentration were discussed. The 1% WO3-doped TiO2coated CA seems to exhibit the higher photocatalytic and antibacterial activity than other samples. The WO3-doped TiO2coated on CA are expected to be applied as a photocatalyst for water purification.
