Experimental Study on Dyeing Performance and Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticle-Immobilized Cotton Woven Fabric

Abstract

The purposes of the current research were to deposit the silver nanoparticles on the surface of a textile woven fabric and evaluate their dyeing performance and antibacterial activity. The synthesis of silver nanoparticle (Ag°) is done by the in situ method. Strong alkali is used to improve functionality of cellulose before the application of silver nitrate salt (AgNO3). The silver nanoparticle is formed by reduction of ascorbic acid. Various instrumental analyses are done to prove the formation of nanoparticles on the fabric surface. The morphology of nanodeposited fabric is characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), elemental composition is done by energy dispersive spectroscopy, and crystallinity of nanoparticles is obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nanodeposited fabric is then dyed with direct dyestuff (Direct Red-89). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis is done to explore the bonding phenomena of un-dyed and dyed fabrics. The dyeing performance and antibacterial activity are examined on the colored fabric to investigate the dyed fabric quality after nanoparticle deposition. Results demonstrate the improvement of 54% of color strength and 11% of dye exhaustion with excellent antibacterial activity.

In-situ Deposition of Ag Nanoparticles on Dopamine Pre-Modified Cotton Fabric and Analysis of Its Functional Mechanical and Dyeing Properties

“…Figure 3 (a) shows the untreated fabric where no Ag nanoparticle exists. It can be noted that this method shows more deposition of Ag nanoparticles than that of other in-situ deposition methods of our previous work [12,22]. By initial observation, SEM image proves the successful immobilization of Ag nanoparticles into the cotton fabric surface.…”

“…The reason behind the improvement of dyeing performance is the mordanting power of Ag nanoparticles that ensures to grip more dyestuffs on fabric surface that causing increased color depth. Our previous work also revealed the improvement of color performance of cotton fabric where Ag nano was deposited by in-situ method on alkali pre-modi ed fabric [22]. Since all color performance increases, this treatment has also a positive in uence on the dyeing performance of the cotton fabric.…”

Development of Antimicrobial Cotton Fabric Impregnating AgNPs Utilizing Contemporary Practice

“…The tendencies of the two curves in the figure appear to be genuinely homogeneous, largely denoting the characteristic peaks of the major functional groups of the cellulosic structure of cotton fabrics. It can be observed that the main functional groups of the cellulosic structure include the peaks at 3323-3334 cm −1 , 2913-2947 cm −1 , 1141-11,667 cm −1 , and 1017-1044 cm −1 [23,24,41]. According to the IR table, the peaks at 3329 cm It is apparent that no substantial modification happened on cotton because of caustic soda (NaOH) or silver treatment, which is consistent with the findings of Li Shuhui et al [42].…”
