Antimicrobial textiles are functionally active textiles, which may kill the microorganisms or
inhibit their growth. The present article explores the applications of different synthetic and …

General information concerning different kinds of chemical additives used in the textile
industry has been described in this paper. The properties and applications of …

While antibacterial textile materials play an important role in preventing transmission of
infectious diseases, poor antibacterial durability limits their applications. As one kind of the …

Natural fibers with functionalities have attracted considerable attention. However,
developing facile and versatile strategies to modify natural fibers is still a challenge. In this …

We report a convenient bifunctional diazirine reagent that is capable of photochemically
modifying inert polymers, particularly those used in fibers and textiles for ballistics and blast …

One of the main limitations to using nanoparticles in textiles is the durability when applied to
different textile substrates for various applications. The present work is focused on …

Herein, we introduce antimicrobial activity to cellulose fibers (CFs) by presenting a double
“click chemistry” strategy. CFs chemically modified with azide functions are designed as a …

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile
industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made …

3, 3′, 4, 4′-Benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid (BPTCA) could directly react with hydroxyl
groups on cellulose to form ester bonds. The modified cotton fabrics not only provided good …

This article focuses on the development of a durable multi-functional finish for cotton fabric
by direct synthesis of nano zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) particles in the pores of the fibres. Anions …
