Nanotechnologies past, present and future applications in enhancing functionality of medical textiles: a review

扫码查看
Nanotechnology has experienced considerable progress in the field of medicinal textiles in recent times, primarily through its utilization in specifically targeting diseases and delivering drugs. It provides a comprehensive pathway for addressing contemporary medical issues by employing materials that are smaller, faster, lighter, and more efficient. The utilization of polymeric nanofiber and nanoparticles to confer distinct properties onto textiles, either through coating or by incorporating drugs during spinning, imparts functional characteristics such as antimicrobial, UV-protective, wound dressing, hemostatic activity, and drug delivery. Numerous studies have been conducted on the application of nanotechnology in textiles, particularly in the realm of medical textiles. This review focuses on the emerging generation of promising polymeric nano carriers and nanoparticles that demonstrate active targeting, including microorganisms and UV rays, as well as capabilities such as blood clotting, controlled and stable drug release, hemostatic activity, and biocompatibility for in vivo studies.
