Abstract
In the field of wildlife preservation, organisms rely on natural defenses to protect against environmental factors. Similarly, textiles serve as our shield against external elements in daily life. Our research aims to develop multifunctional textiles with antimicrobial and self-cleaning properties while maintaining the original fabric's integrity. We focus on common organic textiles, enhancing them with metal oxides through low-temperature Vapor Phase Infiltration. We infiltrate cotton and polyethylene fabrics with ZnO. These textiles exhibit self-cleaning features and demonstrate photocatalytic abilities when exposed to sunlight. They are also effective against Gram+ and Gram- bacteria. Additionally, we investigate the durability of the infiltration during laundering.
