Durable antimicrobial cotton textiles modified with inorganic nanoparticles

Numerous inorganic nanoparticles can impart antimicrobial properties to cotton textiles; however, the antimicrobial performance of the modified textile products is generally less durable. To solve this problem, accurate evaluation of the antimicrobial durability, and improved finishing techniques using inorganic nanoparticles are vital. In this review, it is demonstrated that a reliable description of durability consists of three factors:...
