Abstract
The present study involves preparation of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) deposited on non-woven fabrics by a two-step method including the chemical precipitation of Ag2O nanoparticles on the fabrics followed by in situ reducing of the precursor into Ag NPs by different reductive processes including chemical reduction, photo-reduction and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma treatment. The morphology as well as the antibacterial efficiency of the Ag NPs deposited on non-woven fabrics are also evaluated. The Ag NPs-modified fabrics prepared by DBD plasma treatment exhibit significant antibacterial properties against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and accordingly have potential applications in the healthcare and medicine fields.
