Abstract:
In order to enhanced the attached of nanoparticles to surface of fabric, in this work Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized on the surface of cotton fabric via a sol-gel method, in presence of citric acid as natural crosslinking agents. In order to providing antimicrobial activity and enhancing physical properties. Surface morphology and chemical composition of finished and unfinished fabric have been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron diffraction (EDs) and Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR). Antibacterial properties was evaluated against (Gram-negative) E.coli and (Gram-positive) Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The results showed that ZnO nanoparticles was successfully synthesizes on fiber surface, in the present of Citric acid as crosslinking agent. And it’s distributed non homogenies on fabric surface. Antibacterial tests showed that the ZnO-coated fabric with Citric crosslinking possesses good bacteriostatic activity against to staphylococcus and Physical properties shrinkage, crease recovery angle (CRA), abrasion and tensile test were investigated by using Shirley (CRA), crokmerter and belistone instruments, the results were showed excellent enhancement in physical properties.
