摘要：

The aim of this study was to prepare antibacterial cotton fabric using chitosan-silver nanoparticles (CS-AgNPs). CS-AgNPs were used as finishing agent for 100 % pure cotton fabric. AgNPs were prepared by Turkevich method. CSAgNPs were synthesized by mixing chitosan solution with silver nanoparticles. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer technique supported the formulation of CS-AgNPs. Cs-AgNPs crystalline peaks were in perfect agreement with JCPDS card no. 89-3722. Two gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two gram positive bacteria Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus were used to test the bacterial efficacy of synthesized AgNPs and CSAgNPs. Scanning electron micrograph of cotton fabric revealed the presence of CS-AgNPs on the surface of cotton fabric. The presence of small amount of silver nanoparticles in the composite was enough to enhance antibacterial activity significantly compared to pure chitosan.
