Copper Oxide Impregnated Textiles with Potent Biocidal Activities
TLDR
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...read more

Toxicity of nanosized and bulk ZnO, CuO and TiO2 to bacteria Vibrio fischeri and crustaceans Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus.
TL;DR: This is the first evaluation of ZnO, CuO and TiO2 toxicity to bacteria Vibrio fischeri and crustaceans Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus with a special emphasis on product formulations (nano or bulk oxides) and solubilization of particles.

Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Are Highly Toxic: A Comparison between Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: CuO nanoparticles were most potent regarding cytotoxicity and DNA damage, and carbon nanotubes showed cytotoxic effects and caused DNA damage in the lowest dose tested.

Toxicity of Ag, CuO and ZnO nanoparticles to selected environmentally relevant test organisms and mammalian cells in vitro: a critical review
Olesja Bondarenko,Katre Juganson,Katre Juganson,Angela Ivask,Kaja Kasemets,Monika Mortimer,Monika Mortimer,Anne Kahru +7 more
TL;DR: The toxic range of all the three metal-containing NPs to target- and non-target organisms overlaps, indicating that the leaching of biocidal NPs from consumer products should be addressed.

Understanding the Antibacterial Mechanism of CuO Nanoparticles: Revealing the Route of Induced Oxidative Stress
Guy Applerot,Jonathan Lellouche,Anat Lipovsky,Yeshayahu Nitzan,Rachel Lubart,Aharon Gedanken,Ehud Banin +6 more
TL;DR: The potent antibacterial activity of CuO nanoparticles was found to be due to ROS-generation by the nanoparticles attached to the bacterial cells, which in turn provoked an enhancement of the intracellular oxidative stress.

Surface characteristics, copper release, and toxicity of nano- and micrometer-sized copper and copper(II) oxide particles: a cross-disciplinary study.
Klara Midander,Pontus Cronholm,Hanna L. Karlsson,Karine Elihn,Lennart Möller,Christofer Leygraf,Inger Odnevall Wallinder +6 more
TL;DR: The nanometer particles cause a higher degree of DNA damage and cause a significantly higher percentage of cell death compared to cytotoxicity induced by micrometer-sized particles, and the Cytotoxic effects related to the released copper fraction are found to be significantly lower than the effectsrelated to particles.
