Enhancing the antimicrobial efficacy of polyester fabric impregnated with silve...
Ribeiro, Ana Isabel Ferreira; Mehravani, Behnaz; Magalhães, Cátia; Negreiros, Talita Nicolau Oliveira Vidal; Melro, Liliana Sofia Silva Ferreira PintoThe functionalization of polyester fabric (PES) with antimicrobial agents presents huge number of potential applications in advanced products. However, the lack of functional groups and the high PES hydrophobicity make the functionalization processes costly, prolonged and requires the use of polluting chemical compounds. In this work, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment, an affordable and enviro...
Stabilization of silver nanoparticles on polyester fabric using organo-matrices...
Ribeiro, Ana Isabel Ferreira; Shvalya, Vasyl; Cvelbar, Uroš; Silva, Renata; Marques-Oliveira, Rita; Remião, Fernando; Felgueiras, Helena PradoAntimicrobial textiles are helpful tools to fight against multidrug-resistant pathogens and nosocomial infections. The deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto textiles has been studied to achieve antimicrobial properties. Yet, due to health and environmental safety concerns associated with such formulations, processing optimizations have been introduced: biocompatible materials, environmentally friendly...
Atmospheric pressure plasma deposition of organosilicon thin films by direct cu...
Kuchakova, Iryna; Ionita, Maria Daniela; Ionita, Eusebiu-Rosini; Lazea-Stoyanova, Andrada; Brajnicov, Simona; Mitu, Bogdana; Dinescu, GheorgheThin film deposition with atmospheric pressure plasmas is highly interesting for industrial demands and scientific interests in the field of biomaterials. However, the engineering of high-quality films by high-pressure plasmas with precise control over morphology and surface chemistry still poses a challenge. The two types of atmospheric-pressure plasma depositions of organosilicon films by the direct and indir...
