Production of biologically active non‐woven textiles from recycled polyethylene terephthalate

Abstract

AbstractRecently, various studies have focused on the development of multifunctional non‐woven polyethylene terephthalate (PT; polyester) textiles. Herein, we introduce multifunctional non‐woven polyester fabrics by pad dry curing silver nitrate (AgNO3) and aniline monomer into plasma‐pretreated non‐woven PT textile. This creates a nanocomposite layer of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and polyaniline (PANi) on the fabric surface. In order to prepare a non‐woven fibrous mat, we applied the melt‐spinning technique on previously shredded recycled PT plastic waste. On the surface of the cloth, PANi was synthesized by REDOX polymerization of aniline. Due to the oxidative polymerization, the silver ions (Ag+) were converted to Ag0NPs. PANi acted as a conductor while AgNPs inhibited the growth of microorganisms. Microwave‐assisted curing with trimethoxyhexadecylsilane (TMHDS) gave PT textiles with superhydrophobic properties. The morphological studies were performed using Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The stiffness and breathability of finished non‐woven PT textile materials were analyzed to establish their comfort levels. Both of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used to test the efficacy of the AgNPs‐treated textiles as antimicrobial materials. Moreover, the processed polyester textiles showed excellent electrical conductivity and great ultraviolet‐ray blocking.
