Novel Interaction for Covering Fabric Materials with Silver to Get Ready Antimicrobial Textures

Abstract

Jessica Albert

In recent years, the demand for antimicrobial fabrics has surged due to growing concerns about the spread of infectious diseases and the need for enhanced hygiene measures. To meet this demand, researchers have developed a novel process for coating textile materials with silver, which has proven to be highly effective in preparing antimicrobial fabrics. Traditionally, silver has been recognized for its potent antimicrobial properties, making it an ideal candidate for textile coatings. However, previous methods of applying silver to fabrics were often cumbersome, limited in effectiveness, or posed environmental concerns. This new process aims to overcome these limitations and provide a reliable and sustainable solution. The first step in this innovative coating process involves the creation of a silver nanoparticle suspension. By reducing the silver particles to nanoscale, their surface area increases significantly, enhancing their antimicrobial effectiveness. Additionally, this nanoparticle suspension can be prepared using eco-friendly and cost-effective methods, minimizing environmental impact.
