Depositing biocidal agents on the surface of fibers is one method of making such fabrics, but these agents must not leach during use. The difference between the surface energy of the particles and the material with which they are incorporated causes them to be repelled, leading to inefficient modification of the textile surface. The resulting layers are not resistant to washing, meaning they lose their antibacterial properties when washed due to the unstable bonds between the biocidal agents and the fibers. This is undesirable because of the risk to the environment and human
health. Biocidal agents can be absorbed by aquatic organisms in the environment and can enter the food chain, eventually reaching the human food chain [5].
