Article Synopsis
- Ordinary textiles often harbor unpleasant odors and can facilitate infections due to moisture and contaminants, making them ideal for microbial growth.
- This study presents an affordable method to make cotton fabrics antibacterial by applying manganese-doped titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles, which effectively eliminate bacterial populations within 120 minutes under sunlight.
- The modified fabrics not only demonstrate antibacterial and dye-decolorizing capabilities but also retain their physical properties after several washes, indicating potential applications in various fields like sports, healthcare, and fashion, while being biocompatible.
