This invention relates to regenerable antimicrobial coatings with long-lasting efficacy for use in medical applications including implants, medical instruments or devices, and hospital equipment. The same coatings would also have broad utility in the consumer, industrial, and institutional markets. The coating technology would be based on sequestration of hydrogen peroxide (HP) by zinc oxide binders incorporated into the coatings.

A nano-composite material-based intelligent fireproof textile and a preparation method therefor. Titanium aluminum carbide powder is added into a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and lithium fluoride, and a reaction takes place under the condition that the temperature of a water bath is 40-50 C.; the reactants are washed to be neutral, centrifugation is performed, a precipitate is ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water, ammonium molybdate powder is added, irradiation under ultraviolet light is performed, and dialyzing and drying are performed, to obtain a molybdenum oxide quantum dot titanium carbide composite material, which is dispersed as a nano-slurry, and a rolling-baking-roasting process is used to finish a pretreated fabric, to obtain a nano-composite material-based intelligent fireproof textile. The molybdenum oxide quantum dot titanium carbide composite material is prepared on the basis of etching and ion intercalation principles, and it is combined with the fabric via post-finishing, so that the textile has fire early warning and smoke suppression functions, which is beneficial for the further application of functionalized nano-materials in the field of textiles.
