Creation of smart compression garment using magnetic nanotextiles

Abstract

The paper substantiates the feasibility and effectiveness of using magnetic textile materials produced by incorporating nanopowders synthesized from ferrous and ferric oxides. The research includes methods for the synthesis of iron-based nanoelements, elasticity theory methods for determining pressure between compression garments and limbs, techniques for creating and evaluating annular magnetic fields, and methods for assessing the growth dynamics of mold microorganisms. Based on the determination of interaction forces between magnetic nanotextiles and magnetic fields, the suitability of these materials for manufacturing compression garments has been confirmed. The study also revealed an additional bacteriostatic effect of magnetic textiles: a magnetic nanoelement content of 0.2% in the textile composition almost completely suppresses mold infections. The findings demonstrate the potential of magnetic textile materials for applications in magnetotherapy, compression garments, and other medical textile products with multifunctional properties.
