Concrete curing blankets and anti-bacterial textile fibers

An antibacterial textile comprising:

• polyamide polymer fibers, each fiber comprising:
• at least 35 milliequivalent per kilogram (Kg) amino end groups;
• at least one of:
• a) Silver metal particles and b) Silver cation particles;
• and
• the amino end groups and the at least one of:
• a) the Silver metal and b) the Silver cation particles, dispersed within the polymer of the fiber at a weight content within the range of approximately 10-100 parts per million (ppm);
• each fiber of the polyamide polymer fibers is of Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) type of tenacity within the range of approximately 3.0-4.5 grams per dtex and elongation within the range of approximately 60%-90% to render the textile as an antibacterial textile in accordance with the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) 100-2012 standard;
• the fibers blended inside the textile fabric, the fibers at a weight content within the range 0.5%-40.0% of the fibers of the textile;
• and,
• the content of the Silver metal particles and/or silver cation particles in the textile fabric are within the range of approximately 0.2-45.0 ppm.

An antibacterial textile comprising:
