In situ production of silver nanoparticle on cotton fabric and its antimicrobial evaluation

چکیده
An ecological and viable approach for the in situ forming silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on cotton fabrics has been used. Silver nanocoated fabric of brownish yellow color (AgNPs, plasmon color) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM images revealed that the surface of the modified cotton was rougher than that of normal cotton. In addition, SEM images showed the presence of AgNPs on the surface of the treated fabric. Silver mapping and elemental analysis of the silver nanocoated cotton fabric using EDS confirmed the presence of AgNPs in a homogeneous distribution. Also, FTIR spectra of silver nanocoated sample showed more intense and broad peaks with a slight red shift if compared with those of blank sample indicating the binding of AgNPs with cellulose macromolecules. Different coating levels and the impact of repeated washings have been evaluated against different microbial strains by growth inhibition zone. The results of antimicrobial studies reveal that the presence of a low coating level of nanosilver is enough for producing an excellent and durable antimicrobial cotton fabrics.

Cotton fabric was grafted with a poly (acrylamide-co-itaconic acid) co-polymer via ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) induced graft co-polymerization in an aqueous medium. The grafted cotton fabric was loaded with Ag nanoparticles by entrapment of Ag+ ions into a grafted polymer network, followed by borohydride reduction. The resulting Ag nanoparticle-loaded grafted fabric was characterized by Fourie...
