The growth of microbes on textiles during use and storage negatively affects the wearer as
well as the textile itself. The detrimental effects can be controlled by durable antimicrobial …

About 48% cotton fiber is consumed as clothing materials all over the globe. It is popular for
softness, versatility, absorbance and breathability. Cotton is hydrophilic in nature and …

A novel fiber-reactive chitosan derivative was synthesized in two steps from a chitosan of
low molecular weight and low degree of acetylation. First, a water-soluble chitosan …

The paper focuses on the synthesis of chitosan nanoparticles (CSN) by ionic gelation with
sodium tripolyphosphate and subsequently its loading with silver ions to produce silver …

There is a greater demand for antimicrobial finishes on textile goods because consumers
have become aware of the potential advantages of these materials. A number of other …

Chitosan, a naturally available biopolymer which is now increasingly being used as a
functional finish on textile substrates to impart antimicrobial characteristics and increase dye …

Chitosan is used to treat cotton fabrics to impart antibacterial activities. The effect of

In a continuation of previous studies, the wetting properties of the hydrophobic
diureapropyltriethoxysilane [bis (aminopropyl)-terminated polydimethylsiloxane …

Chitin is the second most plentiful natural polysaccharide found in the various marine,
terrestrial, and microorganism sources. Chitosan is prepared by partial deacetylation of …

A novel antibacterial coating for cotton fabrics has been developed using core-shell particles
that consist of poly (n-butyl acrylate)(PBA) cores and chitosan shells. The spherical particles …
