Finishing of cellulosic fabrics based on SeNPs@triazole derivatives as anti- mosquito

Abstract As mosquito-borne diseases spread around the world, mosquito repellent textiles are in high demand as a disease-prevention tool for mosquito bites. In, this study selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) conjugated by synthesized triazole compound 7-(3-methoxyphenyl)-8-methyl-5-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)pyrimido[5,4- e ][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5- a ] pyrimidin-6(7 H ) one was used to modify 100%, cotton, 65/35%, cotton/PET, viscose and gauzy cotton fabrics, for use as mosquito repellent and morality. The synthesized triazole derivative and the nanoparticles were confirmed by different instrumental techniques. The presence of SeNPs@triazole derivative into fabrics surface was investigated using FT-IR, SEM and EDX. The treated fabric repellency to Culex pipiens mosquitoes showed stable 100% repellency for two hours then complete morality after one day, the samples of fabrics are more durable by ratio 100% after 9th washing but decrease from 10th washing.
