• solution containing precursors. Colored antibacterial textile/NPs composites were generated. The production of textiles on which dyes and antibacterial NPs are co-deposited is normally achieved in a two-stage process. For example, Tabatabee et al. reported on the sonochemical synthesis of CdS and
