Abstract
Water repellent and antibacterial property of Carnauba wax nanoparticles (CWNs) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles has been assessed on the Cotton, Cotton/nylon6 and Nylon6 fabrics using layer by layer (LBL) self-assembly method. Carnauba wax is synthesized into nanoparticle by solvent-free emulsion and melt-dispersion techniques. The prepared particles are cubical in shape, the particle size is less than 150 nm and ?-potential of -16.6 mV is measured. Plasma treatment was used in order to functionalization of fabric’s surface. ZnO was chosen as a positive charge component to create carnauba/ZnO bilayers on fabrics. The results clearly show that the plasma treatment improves the function ability of fabrics and make the suitable substrate to absorb CWNs/ZnO bilayers. The significant water-repellent property was obtained via depositing of four bilayers on fabrics. Antibacterial activities toward Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative bacterial strains were confirmed because of the presence of ZnO on fabrics.
