Development of antimicrobial socks and its efficacy testing

Antimicrobial socks, as it implies the socks that contain antimicrobial substances such as silver nanoparticles in our case. These socks can kill the odour-causing bacteria and prevent unpleasant smell from the socks. Silver nanoparticles has a unique mode of action that affect bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial death. Furthermore, various foot infections caused by microorganisms can also be prevented using antimicrobial socks. The major aim of this project is to development of such antimicrobial socks that can not only prevent odorous foot, but also contributed to the prevention of foot infections. This project will help everyone from youngsters to oldsters, from common man to a professional businessman.
