Abstract
A development in the field of improving human health and improving its vitality without the involvement of harmful synthetic and expensive pharmaceuticals is appropriate and promising for todays. The paper proposes a fundamentally new approach to clothing design, which will have a positive impact on the physical and emotional state of man simultaneously with its main functions. Since garments come into contact with the human body 24 hours a day, it is advisable to use clothing with multifunctional aspect: protection from pathogenic microflora of internal and external origin, and to stimulate the vital functions of human organs and systems. Analysis of research in the field of functionalization of medical textiles shows that today different ways of giving antimicrobial properties to textile materials have been developed and successfully used. In the worsening global environmental crisis promising area of antimicrobial properties is the so-called "green technology", which involves the production of new products with minimal environmental damage. The use of herbal preparations in the creation of antibacterial treatments is due to its availability, as well as low toxicity, lack of addiction and negative effects, the possibility of long-term use by adults and children. Given the scientific uncertainty and the emergence of more and more new data on the early signs of harm and the potential adverse health effects that may be associated with antimicrobial treatments, the precautionary approach seems to be most appropriate. There is a need to clarify information on the effect of physically or chemically modified materials on the human body. Previous studies have experimentally confirmed the presence of energy effects of textile materials on the human body. However, determination of the nature of the impact is a complex task, which solution depends on a number of factors, such as the raw material composition, its structure, surface characteristics, etc. Considering these aspects, the purpose of the study was the functionalization of medical textiles by providing them with long-lasting antimicrobial properties based on “green technologies” and the study of their energy-information impact on the human body. The following tasks have been solved in the course of the study. The analysis of modern types and methods of textile modification is carried out; the prospects of use of "green technologies" are shown. Several samples of textile materials with antimicrobial properties, modified by herbal preparations, were obtained. It has been established that the medicinal materials obtained as a result of the modification of the peony solution exert a positive influence on the energy state of the person and activate processes in the body responsible for the immune system. This makes it possible to believe that these materials actively protect the body from exposure to pathogenic microflora. Also, the method of energy information diagnostics determines the resistance to washing achieved by the modification of the antimicrobial effect. After three cycles of washing, citric acid modified with peony solution exerts a more active effect on the organism of the subjects compared to those modified with only peony solution. Therefore, the results obtained in this paper contribute to the spread of the use of “green technologies” for the manufacture of textile materials and clothes with antimicrobial properties.
