Abstract

Nowadays, the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus in jute fibers (natural polymer fibers) that are used in combination with polymeric materials, such as polypropylene, is a significant problem in the automotive industry, since this material is used in the manufacture of panels that work as substrates or structural reinforcements in car components. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have demonstrated to possess unique optical and catalytic properties, in addition, they exhibit excellent antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Even though there are chemical and physical methods of synthesis for noble metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles were formed through a biological green methodology, using an aqueous extract of Heterotheca inuloides (Mexican arnica), as the bioreducing agent, and AgNO3 as the source of the silver ions. Thus, AgNPs were deposited in the jute fibers by immersion, generating consequently a bionanocomposite. SEM, EDX, TEM, UV–Vis and XPS characterization techniques have been used to confirm the formation, morphology, crystalline phase, and chemical composition of the AgNPs and the nanocomposite. This novel AgNPs/jute fibers bionanocomposite exhibited excellent antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus.
