| Abstract | ||
| The demand for bioactive or antimicrobial fabrics has increased as people's knowledge of health and hygiene issues has grown. A bioactive finish on the fabric serves two purposes. It shields the wearer from germs for reasons related to hygiene, aesthetics, or health, and it shields the textile from biodeterioration brought on by fungi, mold, and mildew. Research on new quality standards, such as preserving the product's inherent usefulness through an environmentally friendly production process, is ongoing on a global scale. The mechanism of action of antimicrobial textile finishes against microbes is reviewed in this paper along with recent advancements in this field. Additionally covered are the bioactive textiles and fibers that are sold commercially. | ||
