In recent years, textiles with antimicrobial properties have attracted more and attention. As natural agents, essential oils’ potential application value lies in their ability to provide functions. this paper, organic solvent extraction (n-hexane, petroleum ether, ethanol) steam distillation were used extract saffron petal oil (SPEO). It was found that (ethanol) had the highest rate most appare...

Biodegradable polyester fibers have been loaded with two engineered analogues of gramicidin soviet. In these cyclic peptide derivatives, which were designed in a previous work to stabilize the bioactive conformation while enhancing the antimicrobial activity, the D-Phe was replaced by D-Pro, and the L-Pro was changed by 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (Ac3c) or by an Ac3c derivative with two...

Abstract In the present study, nano-silver-doped flax fibers (NAgDFF) are prepared in two steps. first step, oxidation of is performed by potassium periodate to form dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and second step reduction silver ions DAC. A series characterization techniques photocatalyst NAgDFF was carried out using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N 2 adsorp...

Olive tree is a well-known source of polyphenols. We prepared an olive leaf extract (OLE) and characterized it via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. OLE was blended with different polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), namely, poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBHV) polyhydroxybutyrate/poly(hydroxyoctanoate-co-hydroxydecanoate) (PHB/PHOHD), to produce fiber meshes electros...

The purpose of this work was to prepare chitosan–essential oil microcapsules using the simple coacervation method and graft them onto cellulosic fibers obtain bio functional textile. morphology characterized by optical microscopy. 2D dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea resin (DMDHEU) used as a binding agent on surface fibers. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) photographs Attenuated Total Reflecta...

Abstract Global health organizations recommend the use of cloth face coverings to slow spread COVID-19. Seemingly overnight, companies whose primary business is in no way related healthcare or personal protective equipment—from mattresses manufacturers big box stores—transitioned into “mask business.” Many advertise antimicrobial masks containing silver, copper, other antimicrobials. Often, tec...

In the present study the antiviral properties of the bacteriocin subtilosin against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and the safety and efficacy of a subtilosin-based nanofiber formulation were determined. High concentrations of subtilosin, the cyclical antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, were virucidal against HSV-1. Interestingly, at non-virucidal concentrations, ...

Drug delivery systems (DDS) have extensively progressed over the past decades for eradicating bacteria embedded in biofilms while minimizing side effects of antimicrobials on normal tissues. They possess potential solving challenges intrinsic antimicrobial-resistance and poor penetration into biofilms. However, guidelines developing a controlled DDS combating bacterial are limited. In this revi...

background: zeolites containing silver ion, in combination with synthetic fibers, show antibacterial activity. objectives: the purpose of this study was to use silver zeolite indirectly as antimicrobial agents to control streptococcus iniae infection which recently has caused disease in some of rainbow trout farms in iran. methodes: in this context polyurethane foams containing silver zeolite (...
