Abstract

There is a growing interest in adding value to textiles through the use of zinc oxides or titanium dioxide at nano-particles. In the current study, the antimicrobial properties of six disperse dyes that we prepared previously against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi were studied. The results show that zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in the nano size are able to reduce microbial growth in an excellent manner
