CDs have the potential to act as reducing and stabilizing agents for green nanoparticles synthesis; nanoparticles hold the current increasing interest of textile researchers. Furthermore, CDs have the unique ability to reversibly complex with a range of nanoinorganic materials, and hence can carry and stabilize them on the fabric surfaces. On the basis of these facts, CDs represent a great potential to be used in novel applications,particularly in the area of medical and hygienic textiles.Therefore, these may provide immediate opportunities for developing novel functional textiles in the near future.
