Abstract
The current research aims to investigate nanotechnology and to benefit from it in making antimicrobial clothing in the medical field for cancer patients as to enhance the efficiency of the cotton fabrics used (Tinsel , Bamboo, and Febran ), and to identify the best type of raw material, the best weaving construction, as well as the best concentration of the treatment substance,that is silver nanoparticles, for cotton fabrics under study with the purpose of resisting microbs for cancer patients. The significance of this research lies in taking advantage of the technological development in the field of clothing and textiles, applying nanotechnology to cotton fabric to raise its efficiency and improve its properties (tensile strength, elongation, absorption time) with purpose of meeting the functional purpose of antimicrobial resistance, and to treat cotton fabrics (using silver nanoparticles) in order to improve the functional performance of antimicrobial resistance. The research sample included three raw materials of weft yarn (100% Tinsel, 100% Bamboo, 100% Febran ) with weaving constructions (Reverse weave, Honeycomb weave, and Crepe, crawl, spin weaves, and wrap yarns fixed for all fabrics produced, which is 100% cotton and were divided into 27 samples (20 cm). Three concentrations of the treatment substance (silver nanoparticles) were used, namely (250 m/L, 500 m/L, and 750 m/L). Results revealed that Febran with weaving construction of Crepe crawl and spin, treated with silver nanoparticles at a concentration of 750 m/L is the best in resisting microbes, and it achieved the highest quality factor of (90.1417%) .
