A method for the production of antibacterial ZnO nanoparticles has been developed. The technique combines passing an electric current with simultaneous application ultrasonic waves. By using high-power ultrasound a cavitation zone is created between two zinc electrodes. This leads to possibility create spatial electrical discharge in water. Creation such depletion electrodes and formation nanoparticles, which demonstrate properties. At end this reaction suspension transported specially developed reactor, are deposited on textile. embedded into fibres by jets, formed asymmetrically collapsing bubbles presence solid surface directed towards textile at very high velocities. Fabrics coated showed good activity against E. coli.
