Abstract

A novel method was developed to prepare the antibacterial cotton fabrics through in situ deposition of silver nanoparticles on the cotton fabrics by the reduction of Ag+ without any reductant and dispersant. The data showed that by immersing the cotton fabrics in 160 mM AgNO3 solution at 90 °C, the amount of silver nanoparticles was increased from 0.6890 to 1.3561 mg per gram of fabrics with the increase of reaction time from 10 to 50 min. The obtained cotton fabrics showed excellent antibacterial activity and laundering durability, in which the bacterial reduction was still 98.5 and 94.3 % to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, even after the fabrics were washed for 20 cycles. Thus, this facile in stitu reduction method without any other reducers or stabilizers may bring a promising and green strategy to produce functional cotton fabrics.
