Antibacterial Activity of Cotton Fabrics Treated With Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)/ZnO Nanocomposites, Photocatalyzed by UV Irradiation

Cotton fabrics with antimicrobial properties were prepared by treatment with aqueous solutions of poly vinyl alcohol/zinc oxide (PVA/ZnO) nanocomposites and subsequently exposed to UV radiation. The ZnO nanoparticles, PVA/ZnO nanocomposite films, and treated cotton fabrics were characterized by tran...

Zusammenfassung:Cotton fabrics with antimicrobial properties were prepared by treatment with aqueous solutions of poly vinyl alcohol/zinc oxide (PVA/ZnO) nanocomposites and subsequently exposed to UV radiation. The ZnO nanoparticles, PVA/ZnO nanocomposite films, and treated cotton fabrics were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The antibacterial finishing of the treated cotton fabrics was evaluated toward gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria. J. VINYL ADDIT.
