Textile is an indispensable part of human life. Textile finishing not only enhances the feel and drape of fabrics but can also provide extraordinary hygienic properties like making it anti-microbial. The titanium dioxide doped with Nanoparticles increases their susceptibility to sorption of nicotine and accelerates its decomposition. Extraction of menthe piperita is applied to the fabric with titanium dioxide. Hydrophobic and vinegar (used as modrant) by boiling with dip and dry method on 100% cotton plain-woven fabric water-based super hydrophobic coating is an aqua emulsion and containing flammable solvent regarding water, soil and oil repellency after drying. The Sample with higher antimicrobial activity is found by the results and a Government is made for women. This Study makes a way for the usage of eco-friendly and safe product which is produced using mentha on cotton fabric

The simple and industrially adjustable process of silver nanoparticles deposition on cotton fabric followed by coating with γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MPS), as well as the properties of obtained nanocomposite has been investigated. Silver nanoparticles were prepared through the reduction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydrate and deposited on cellulose fabric. In order to stabilize obtained nanostructured material and improve its properties, the fabric was treated by immersion in cross linkable MPS. The morphology of the finished fabrics was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It has been determined that process does not impair nanocharacter of silver particles and yield uniform distribution throughout the fabric surface. The concentration of Ag in the fabric samples was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The average deposited amount of nanoparticles was found to be 63 ppm and 48 ppm for samples without and those with MPS, respectively. The character of obtained polysiloxane coating was examined using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The presence of SiOSi bonds on the cellulose surface pointed out to self-condensation between silanol groups. Differential Thermal and Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (DTA/TGA) revealed that MPS deposited on fabric provided modification of thermal properties. The change of the surface properties after the modification was ascertained by contact angle measurements. The antimicrobial activity of the antibacterial finish on the cotton fabric, expressed as bacterial reduction efficiency, has been determined. Bacterial reduction of at least 88.5% against both, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, has been obtained.

The search for and synthesis of new antimicrobial nanostructures is important to reduce microbial incidence that induces infectious diseases and to aid in the antibiotic resistance crisis, which are two of the most pressing issues in global public health. In this work, novel, hollow, calcined titanium dioxide nanospheres (CSTiO2) were successfully synthesized for the first time through the combination of electrospinning and atomic layer deposition techniques. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) electrosprayed spherical particles were double-coated with alumina and titanium dioxide, and after a calcination process, hollow nanospheres were obtained with a radius of approximately 345 nm and shell thickness of 17 nm. The structural characterization was performed using electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray diffraction evidenced an anatase titanium dioxide crystalline structure. Thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies demonstrated the absence of polymer residue after the calcination process. The antimicrobial properties of the developed CSTiO2 hollow nanospheres were evaluated against different bacteria, including resistant E. coli and S. aureus strains, and when compared to commercial TiO2 nanoparticles, CSTiO2 nanospheres exhibited superior performance. In addition, the positive effect of UV irradiation on the antimicrobial activity was demonstrated.
