Several methods for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) deposition on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treated and not treated polyamide 6,6 fabric were tested for the production of durable antibacterial textiles. Ultrasound-assisted, dip-coating, exhaustion at 70 ̊C and spray deposition methods were applied. The treated fabrics were analysed in terms of coating uniformity, plasma effect, nanoparticles concen...
The study of antimicrobial fabrics with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) incorporation has shown excellent properties in medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and electronics applications due to their formidable action against pathogens, preventing and treating infections.[1] The high surface-to-volume ratio from AgNPs promotes an easy release of silver ion, responsible for the antimicrobial effect.[2] The most tradit...
Non-woven textile materials with antimicrobial properties are of high demands for applications ranging from medical dressing to everyday cleaning products. We proposed plasma assisted route to engineer polymer films and non-woven fabrics with antimicrobial nano-composite coatings. Atmospheric pressure plasma is used for deposition of nano-composites. Nano-particles Ag, Cu and ZnO are tested as antimicrobial age...
