Textile materials functionalized with cellulose and MNPs. Polysaccharide function towards MNPs.
| Polysaccharide Function (Cellulose Type) |
NPs (Shape, Size) |
Textile Substrate, Structure |
Application | Results | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Immobilization (CNFs) | Ag-NH2 (spherical, ~20 nm) | CNFs and gelatin, non-woven |
Wound dressing | Improved mechanical, self-recovery, and hemostatic (gelation) properties; antibacterial properties against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa; fluid balance on the wound bed | [127] |
| Ag (n.d. *) | Cotton, woven | Disposable e-textiles (electronic devices integrated into fabrics) | Better surface wetting and improved inkjet printing process; higher-speed inkjet printing | [128] | |
| ZnO (n.d., 90 ± 10 nm) |
Cotton, woven | UV-protective textiles | Reduced the agglomeration of ZnO; decreased air permeability; improved mechanical properties; showed a bacteriostatic inhibition effect against E. coli and S. aureus | [129] | |
| Immobilization (viscose) | TiO2 (n.d., 50 nm) | Cotton | n.d. | Photocatalytic self-cleaning and permanently stiff cotton properties; increased degradation rate of orange II dye under UV–vis light irradiation | [133] |
| Reducing and stabilizing agent (Na-CMC) |
Ag (spherical, 2–8 nm, 5–35 nm; whiskers, L: 130–420 nm, W: 15–40 nm) |
Cotton, woven | Antibacterial textiles | Bactericidal activity against bacterium S. epidermidis and fungus C. albicans |
