Recent Trends in Protective Textiles against Biological Threats: A Focus on Biological Warfare Agents
Joana C. Antunes,Inês Pimentel Moreira,Fernanda Gomes,Fernando Q. Cunha,Mariana Henriques,Raúl Fangueiro +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the main possibilities and trends of bioprotective textiles, focusing on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), inorganic nanoparticles (e.g., ZnO-based), and organic players such as chitosan (CS)-based small-scale particles and plant-derived compounds as bioactive agents.

Citrate-mediated impregnation of silver nanoparticles for durable antibacterial cellulosic fabric
TL;DR: In this paper , a green cross-linking approach was used to obtain antibacterial textiles from cellulosic fabrics, which may provide an ideal enclave for microbial growth due to their biodegradability and retention of certain nutrients and moisture usually required for microbial colonization.

Contribution of hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids to epidermal shielding of UV‐A and UV‐B radiation in developing rye primary leaves as assessed by ultraviolet‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence measurements
TL;DR: It is shown that in early stages of development the epidermal HCAs are the dominant UV-B protective compounds of the primary leaf, and this function is increasingly replaced by the epidersmal flavonoids during leaf development and acclimation.
