Zusammenfassung: | A green approach for forming silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on ecofriendly highly absorbent nonwoven fabrics was investigated. The fiber blending ratio of highly absorbent nonwoven fabrics was optimized by simulated body fluid (SBF) and water absorption. SBF and water absorption ratios reached 42 and 42.9 times after addition of 50 wt% highly absorbent fibers. The Ag NPs were characterized by UV-visible spectrometry (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). UV-Vis and XRD images confirmed the presence of Ag NPs. TEM observation revealed that Ag NPs were distributed at 5–10 nm. The results of antimicrobial activity showed that Ag NP dope is effective for producing antimicrobial nonwoven fabrics against E. coli and S. aureus. |
