| Abstract | ||||
| The textile industries continue to introduce various products to enhance their products’ quality to satisfy their clients. Recently Antimicrobial textiles have gained much attention and popularity in the market and day-to-day life. Infestations of microorganisms allow bacteria to transmit disease, and odor occurs in fabrics that come into close contact with the skin. Furthermore, discoloration, tints, and loss of functional characteristics of textiles are the result of microbial damage. Antibacterial finished textile is an important area for medical and hygienic applications also there is an enormous need for non-toxic and eco-friendly antimicrobial agents. The synthetic biocides finish extensively reported were polyhexamethylenebiguanide (PHMB), quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and n-halamines, metals (including metal oxides such as ZnO, TiO2, and ag nanoparticles). Whereas, the natural-based biocides chitosan and plant-based extracts. This paper will cover concisely, review of the latest research done at antimicrobial finishing, methods of application, and the impact of these treatments on health and the environment. | ||||
