Environmental Profile of Nano-finished Textile …

and metabolism with maximum growth rate in a relatively narrow pH range around
neutrality (pH 6–8) [173].
7 Conclusion
The present status of the global textile market is based on innovations in high-tech
textile products, and nanotechnology is one of the prominent driving forces, which
helps the technical textiles stay ahead of the competition. The textile industry is
affected by two main factors, that is, market volatility and world-wide competition.
Therefore, the industry needs to enhance its capability to produce and market high
quality and added value products. Recently, with dramatic growth in nanotechnology,
increased volumes of engineered nanoparticles have been produced which represent
the potential functional benefits in a wide range of applications by integrating into
textiles. Inorganic and metallic-based nano-structured materials have created a new
interesting field in all sciences for the continuous investigations due to their undeniably unique properties. Their applications have already led to the development
of new practical productions. However, high release of AgNPs from textiles after
washing is still a major challenge in this particular area and becomes a potential new
pollutant source.
