Abstract

A low temperature and cost-effective process for antimicrobial finishing of cotton textiles has been developed by sol–gel method. The antimicrobial treatment was performed by treating cotton textile with silica sols from water glass and then with silver nitrate solution. The antimicrobial activity was determined by using E. coli as a model for Gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that the treated textile has an excellent antimicrobial effect and laundering durability. SEM analysis showed coarse surface morphological change on the water glass treated cotton textile. The residual concentration of silver ion on fabrics was informed by ICP-MS. XPS results indicated that two different states of silver were present on the surface of the antimicrobial textile.
