چکیده مقاله :
This study investigates the application of nano strontium titanate (SrTiO3) and nano zinc titanate (ZnTiO3) in textile finishing to enhance antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and UV-protective properties of fabrics. Both woven cotton and electro spun nonwoven fabrics were treated with these nano powders and characterized for their physical and biological performance. The treated textiles demonstrated remarkable bactericidal activity, with higher effectiveness against Escherichia coli compared to Bacillus cereus, attributed to differences in bacterial cell wall thickness. Moreover, the fabrics exhibited significant anti-inflammatory properties, reducing carrageenan-induced edema in animal models. Durability tests revealed that the antimicrobial effect of both nano powders was maintained above 93% even after 15 washing cycles, confirming their stability and long-term applicability. In addition, UV-blocking and photocatalytic performance were notably improved, particularly in fabrics treated with strontium titanate. These findings highlight the potential of SrTiO3 and ZnTiO3 nanoparticles as multifunctional agents in the development of advanced textiles for medical, protective, and outdoor applications.
