Abstract:

Cotton and polyester fabrics modified with silver nanoparticles were synthesized in situ through the reaction of absorption and reduction of chitosan which was attached on the surface of respective fibers. The obtained nanosilver fabrics were characterized by scanning electronic microseopy(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) microscopysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and reflectance spectrum, and the influence of the concentration of silver ion and chitosan solution on the nanosilver fabrics was investigated. The antibacterial performances of the prepared nanosilver fabrics towards E. coil and S. aureus were detected. The results indicated that silver nanoparticles were uniformly formed on the surface of cotton and polyester fabrics attahced with chitosan, without any reductant addition. The crystalline size of the silver nanoparticels was about 5—10 nm. The prepared nanosilver cotton and polyester fabrics exhibited good antibacterial activity and antibacterial durability.

Key words: Nanosilver fabric, In situ synthesis, Chitosan, Antibacterial performance
