. The development of new multifunctional textiles containing nanoparticles (NPs) hasa special interest in several applications for pharmaceutical and medical products. Cu, Zn andAg are the most promising antimicrobial NPs, exhibiting strong antibacterial activities.However, most of antimicrobial textiles coated with NPs are not able to perform a controlledrelease of NPs because of the high degree of aggregation. The aim of this study is to assess theeffect of NPs stabilizers such as citrate, alginate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in Cu, Zn andAg NPs dispersions. The obtained dispersions were used to develop a new class of antibacterialNPs coatings onto polyamide 6,6 (PA66) and polyester fabrics (PES) by Double DielectricBarrier (DBD) plasma discharge. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to evaluate the bestdispersing agent in terms of size, polydispersity index and zeta potential. Coating efficiencywas evaluated by SEM, XPS and FTIR. The washing fastness of the coatings developed wasalso tested. The results show that the best dispersions were obtained using 2.5% of citrate forZnO, 5% Alginate for Cu and 2.5% alginate for Ag NPs. SEM, XPS and FTIR analysis showsthat DBD is an efficient deposition technique only for Ag and Cu NPs and that better performin PA66 than PES fabric. The DBD deposition in air display similar results in term of NPSdeposition of usually more efficient plasma jets using carrier gas such as N2 and Ar.FEDER -Federación Española de Enfermedades Rarasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
