Indeed, especially after the coronavirus pandemic, antibacterial treatments have gained interest for their potential of ensuring cleanliness and safety toward microbial contamination within vehicles. This study gives a panoramic view of the durability of antibacterial treatments applied on textile materials in the automotive industry, focusing on their performance after experiencing accelerated aging processes. Two different textile materials, a fabric and a synthetic leather, both treated with antibacterial agents, were tested according to ISO 22196 and ISO 20743 standards, respectively, using two model microorganisms, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The impact of mechanical, thermal, and solar aging on the antibacterial properties has been evaluated. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was performed to investigate the surface morphology of the materials before and after aging. Furthermore, contact angle measurements were conducted. The results suggest that neither mechanical nor thermal aging processes determined diminished antibacterial action. It was determined, instead, that the most damaging stressor for both textile materials was UV aging, causing severe surface alterations and a reduction in antibacterial activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.4c01272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,11]],"date-time":"2024-06-11T19:43:16Z","timestamp":1718134996000},"page":"27169-27176","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of Aging\nEffect on the Durability of Antibacterial\nTreatments Applied on Textile Materials for the Automotive Industry"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6601-5138","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Matilde","family":"Arese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Turin , , Via Pietro Giuria 7 , ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10125"]},{"name":"Stellantis , , Corso Settembrini 40 , ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10135"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilaria","family":"Mania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Turin , , Largo Paolo Braccini 2 , Grugliasco, ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10095"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Brunella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Turin , , Via Pietro Giuria 7 , ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10125"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vito Guido","family":"Lambertini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stellantis , , Corso Settembrini 40 , ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10135"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Gorra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Turin , , Largo Paolo Braccini 2 , Grugliasco, ,","place":["Turin, Italy, 10095"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081709092739500_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"135718","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2022.135718","article-title":"On influencing factors for Sustainable\nDevelopment goal prioritisation in the automotive industry","volume":"387","author":"Lenort","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
