DBD plasma-treated polyester fabric coated with doped PEDOT:PSS for thermoregul...

The manufacturing process of thermoregulation products with polyester (PES) fabric and conductive polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) with proper wearability, comfort, and high performance is still a challenge due to low adhesion, environment instability and nonuniform coatings. This study presents a simple and effective method for producing thermoreg...

Effect of PEDOT:PSS with secondary dopants and DBD plasma treatment on the cond...

[Excerpt] Introduction Smart textiles have the capability to interact with the surrounding environment and react in different ways, namely in electrical conduction. The conductive properties of these materials are useful in medical, healthcare, and protective clothing.

Controlled antibacterial activity of polyester fabric by immobilization of silv...

Effect of dispersion solvent on the deposition of PVP-Silver nanoparticles onto...

Polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) dispersed in ethanol, water and water/alginate were used to functionalize untreated and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-treated polyamide 6,6 fabric (PA66). The PVP-AgNPs dispersions were deposited onto PA66 by spray and exhaustion methods. The exhaustion method showed a higher amount of deposited AgNPs. Water and water-alginate dispersions ...

Atmospheric pressure plasma deposition of organosilicon thin films by direct cu...

Thin 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...

Double Dielectric Barrier (DBD) plasma-assisted deposition of chemical stabiliz...

The development of new multifunctional textiles containing nanoparticles (NPs) has had a special interest in several applications for pharmaceutical, medical, engineering, agricultural, and food products.[1-2] Cu, Zn and especially Ag NPs exhibit strong antibacterial activities on a broad spectrum of bacteria.[3-5] Most of the antimicrobial textiles coated with NPs are not able to perform a controlled release o...

Plasma deposition of antibacterial nano-coatings on polymeric materials

Non-woven textile materials with antimicrobial properties are of high demands for applications ranging from medical dressing to everyday cleaning products. A plasma assisted route to engineer antimicrobial nano-composite coatings is proposed. Nano-particles of Ag, Cu and ZnO are tested as antimicrobial agents with average nano-particle size of 20-50 nm. Nanoparticles are incorporated in between two layers of an...

(Invited) Plasma deposition of antibacterial nano-coatings on polymeric materials

Non-woven textile materials with antimicrobial properties are of high demands for applications ranging from medical dressing to everyday cleaning products. We proposed a plasma assisted route to engineer polymer films and non-woven fabrics with antimicrobial nano-composite coatings. The project aims to optimize atmospheric pressure plasma deposition in order to engineer the coatings with high antibacterial acti...

Abstract. The development of new multifunctional textiles containing nanoparticles (NPs) has a special interest in several applications for pharmaceutical and medical products. Cu, Zn and Ag are the most promising antimicrobial NPs, exhibiting strong antibacterial activities. However, most of antimicrobial textiles coated with NPs are not able to perform a controlled release of NPs because of the high degree of...
