This paper covers the brief introduction of various aspects being analyzed in 21st Century, where the research methodology is booming day and night. The critics on the papers is omitted and everyone’s research related to sound or noise absorbing home textile or even general textile material suitable for home textiles is warmly welcomed. The final summary is presented in the conclusion section after the extensive available research in the area of sound or noise insulating home textiles. This review depicts the acoustical property and factors affecting the acoustical property of home textile material from raw materials to the finished goods. Moreover, the measurement of acoustic property and sound absorption mechanism of home textiles have also been described. The significance of textile materials and making the better acoustic home textiles has ...

Research paper thumbnail of Recent Advances in Nanotechnology-Aided Materials in Combating Microbial Resistance and Functioning as Antibiotics Substitutes

Current predictions show that deaths due to bacterial illness will be more in comparison to cancer in 2050. Irrational use of antibiotics, prolonged regimen and using as a prophylactic treatment for various infections are leading cause of microbial resistance. It is an emerging approach to introduce evolving nanomaterials (NMs) as a base of antibacterial therapy to overcome the bacterial resistance pattern. NMs can implement several bactericidal ways and turn into a challenge for bacteria to survive and develop resistance against NMs. All the pathways depend on the surface chemistry, shape, core material and size of NMs. Because of these reasons, NMs based stuff shows a critical role in advancing the treatment efficiency by interacting with the cellular system of bacteria and functioned as an antibiotic substitute. We divided this review into two sections. The first part highlights the development of microbial resistance to antibiotics and their mechanisms. The second section details the NMs mechanisms to combat antibiotic resistance. In short, we try to summarize the advances in NMs role to deal with microbial resistance and giving solution as antibiotics substitute.
