    Sustainable surface modification of textile with Ag-doped TiO2/polysiloxane nanocomposite for antibacterial, UV protection, and flame retardant properties
    (Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Rashid, Mohammad Mamunur; Tomšič, Brigita; Simončič, Barbara; Jerman, Ivan; Štular, Danaja; Zorc, Matija
    In this work, a cotton fabric with advanced photocatalytic and flame retardant properties was developed by using Ag-doped TiO2 in combination with 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methyl phosphonate (TPMP) with a sustainable sol-gel/hydrothermal approach. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) were used to confirm the successful application of Ag-doped TiO2 and TPMP on the cotton fabric. The results of UPF, bacterial reduction against Escherichia coli and vertical flammability test showed that the creation of Ag-TiO2+TPMP nanocomposite on the surface of the fibres gave the cotton fabric superior antibacterial activity, very good UV protection and flame retardant activity.

    Development of antibacterial and ultraviolet protective clothing by the application of medicinal plants extract
    (Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Khanzada, Haleema; Kumpikaite, Egle
    The increasing health concern has enhanced the utilization of technical products in every field of life from common household items to fabrics. Protection against UV is one of the main concerns of the modern world due to the potential health risk when skin is exposed to UV. Various chemicals have been utilized to enhance the UV protection of fabrics, but they are not green. The purpose of this research is to examine the properties of UV protective fabrics developed by using extract of different plants. Ethanol extract of dried leaves and seeds of three medicinal plants named Azadiarchta indica, Amaranthus viridis and Ricinus communis were applied on fabric to enhance the antimicrobial and UV blocking properties of the treated fabric as these plants are cheap and abundant in Pakistan. Azadiarchta indica and Amaranthus viridis showed good antibacterial and UV blocking. On the other hand, the extract of Ricinus communis showed excellent UV blocking but antibacterial effect was not good.
