Study of Photocatalytic Properties of Ag/AgCl-Decorated Soybean Protein Knitting Fabric Against Acid Blue 260 Dye by Factorial Design

Changes of color and antibacterial characteristics of knitted fabrics dyed with reactive dyes after treatment with a nanocomposition of silver and carboxymethyl starch

“…Many authors have carried out scientific and research works to solve this problem, since this feature is equally important from both the antimicrobial and colorimetric points of view. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Ahmed et al 7 studied the effect of nanosilver (AgNPs) inserting in the process of dyeing viscose fibers with a blue reactive dye. The fibers' color became greenish-blue thanks to the insertion of the AgNPs.…”

“…These coated fabrics presented with various bright colors with strong strength properties. Ag/AgCl NPs were immobilized by hydrothermal treatment on a soy knitted fabric by Neto et al 11 The photocatalytic activity of the resulting Ag/AgCl functionalized soybean knitted fabric was evaluated based on the decrease in the concentration of the Acid Blue 260 dye. Photocatalytic results showed that the addition of Ag/AgCl to the fabric promotes its usage and reusage for the decomposition of the Acid Blue 260 dye.…”
