TL;DR: Data is described showing that antifungal socks containing 10% w/w (weight/weight) copper-impregnated fibers alleviate athlete’s foot; antimicrobial fabrics (sheets) containing 10%, decrease bacterial colonization in a clinical setting; and these products do not have skin-sensitizing properties or any other adverse effects, demonstrate the wide preventive and curative potential of copper oxide-Impregnated apparel products.
Abstract: Impregnation or coating of cotton and polyester fibers with cationic copper endows them with potent broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antimite properties (Borkow, G. and Gabb...

TL;DR: A survey and latest developments on the material, processing technologies, and fields of composite materials can be found in this paper, where the authors present a survey of the latest developments in composite materials.
Abstract: Composite materials with thermoplastic matrices and a reinforcement of natural fibers are increasingly regarded as an alternative to glass fiber-reinforced composites. The substitution of the traditionally used reinforcing glass fibers by natural fibers such as flax, kenaf, or cotton can lead to a reduction of the component's weight and furthermore to a significant improvement of specific properties like impact strength, crash behaviour, or sound absorption. One of the major fields of application for such materials can be found in structural components for the automotive industry. Product examples are door trim panels, headliners, or back panels. At present the processing of such materials into structural parts usually takes place by thermal compression molding. Semiproducts (so-called hybrid fleeces) are employed, which are generated by carding or air-laid processes and subsequent mechanical bonding. This paper presents a survey and latest developments on the material, processing technologies, and fields...
