Abstract

Nanotechnology is applied in large areas in the textile sector in order to improve the properties of fabrics or give them unusual properties and functions. Given the development of medical clothing used in the medical field, from general uses such as clothing for doctors and patients to precise uses involved in the processes of designing and implementing alternative human parts. These products must be efficiently raised to a quadruple level that can compete globally. They must also be medical products with quality standards that provide safety for workers in the field of medicine from diseases caused by bacteria and contaminated blood, and rabbit products must fulfill their functional requirements so the particulate matter is used. Various silicon acids and chitosan particles. Some fabrics combine cotton, polyester, and a mixture of cotton polyester for the purpose of achieving some of the functional properties of plant-based software, such as being anti-bacterial and repellent, especially for its use. In the work of the doctor’s medical gown to protect them from dangers, as there may be bacteria, blood-laden materials, and other harmful effects, The results indicated that the best concentration of silicon dioxide nanoparticles was 5%, which recorded 142.9 degrees and 150.9 degrees for cotton and cotton/polyester fabrics and 157.8 for polyester fabrics, and fabrics treated with a concentration by weight of chitosan nanoparticles of 3 weight% showed Ideal bacterial resistance reaches 98.89%, 97% and 98.5% for Gram-positive bacteria and 92.28%, 95.84% and 98.01% for Gram-negative bacteria for cotton, polyester, and cotton/polyester fabrics, respectively
