Abstract
This research aims to use co-precipitation technology of zinc oxide nanoparticles to raise the functional values of clothing and textiles specially the antibacterial properties.
Due to their intrinsic properties, fabrics can provide a particularly suitable environment for growth and proliferation of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, commonly found almost everywhere in the environment. Microbial colonization of fabrics can cause undesirable effects, not only to the textile material, but also to the user himself. Due to their antimicrobial properties, ZnONPs have been extensively used in fabric finishings, because they are considered as a viable solution for fighting a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. In recent research, a good antibacterial effect of nano-sized zinc oxide on polymer and textile fabrics was shown, so in this study, zinc oxide will be studied in particular as a treatment for cotton fibers against bacteria.
This study is divided into three parts. In the first one, nanotechnology and smart fabrics were highlighted. Then antibacterial properties of nanoparticles, cotton fabric used in antibacterial clothing and zinc oxide were studied.
In the second part, preparation of zinc oxide and characterization of the nanoparticles were done by some tests such as FTIR and TEM and also the zinc oxide samples obtained using the precipitation method were subjected to the determination of their particle size distribution by the non-invasive backscattering technique NIBS using a Zetasizer Nano ZS. Finally surface area tests were done.
