Oxide Nanoparticles Used by Iranian Firms to Produce Antibacterial Carpet
‘Pamchal Textile Industries’, ‘Nasaji Farokh Sepehr Kashan’ and ‘Yadegar Kohan Jey Carpet’ are the companies which have succeeded in production of the antibacterial carpets whose fibers are modified by oxide nanoparticles after weaving to avoid the growth, propagation, and accumulation of infected bacteria. It is often packaged in polymeric films.
Utilization of oxide nanoparticles in the structure of carpet-forming fibers has resulted in emergence of strong antibacterial properties and preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi.
The carpets can be used at schools, public places like mosques, kids' rooms and places where patients or people with cutaneous, ocular, and respiratory allergies live.
Earlier this month, specialists at an Iranian nanotechnology company had also managed to produce antibacterial fabric used to make aircraft blanket.
‘Zarbaf Amin Textile Industries’ company produced the antibacterial aircraft blanket made of polyester and acrylic fabrics containing nanoparticles to kill bacteria and microbes.
The incorporation of nanoparticles into the fabric led to the emergence of antibacterial properties in the product.
The nano-based fabric can be used in making antibacterial blanket for airplanes which preserves its antibacterial activity after washing for 10 times and shows antibacterial activity before washing.
