Abstract

Zinc peroxide (ZnO2 ) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized structurally and morphologically. The synthesized nanoparticles were suspended in aqueous medium to functionalize cotton textile fabrics, getting textiles with antimicrobial properties. The functionalization was by impregnation process over dry woven, making use of equipment called impregnation Padder. The impregnated textile samples were microbiologically analyzed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) strains. Subsequently, fastness control, physical properties studies and color control analysis were performed over the textiles. We concluded that the textiles functionalized with ZnO2 nanoparticles have antimicrobial properties, moreover, physical properties and textile fastness are not affected after the functionalization process.
