Abstract
Novel nanocomposite materials have been developed using facile one pot method. The nanocomposites were developed based on silver nanoparticles and diphosphate malonate as organic phosphates. The mass ratios of both silver nanoparticles and organic phosphate in the nanocomposites were varied and optimized. The silver nanoparticle sizes were tuned and the average size was in the range 17–102 nm. Different textile fabrics were treated with the developed nanocomposites for improving their antibacterial and fire retardancy properties. The flame retardancy of the treated textiles was improved significantly and optimized. The rate of burning of the treated textiles was recorded as zero mm/min achieved high class flame retardant textiles compared to 125.6 and 336 mm/min for untreated cotton blend and polyester textiles, respectively. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and mechanical properties of the treated and untreated fabrics was evaluated. The clear bacterial inhibition zone reached to 4.48 mm compared to zero mm for blank textiles.
