Abstract:
By used Aloe Vera as a capping agent Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized on the surface of cotton fabric via a simple wet chemical method for providing antimicrobial activity. Surface morphology and surface chemistry were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Antibacterial and (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Activity was evaluated against Gram-negative Ecoli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Nanostructures were homogenously formed on the fibers’ surface in case of used alovera capping agent, most of them are bundle like particles having different sizes. Antibacterial tests showed that the ZnO-coated fabric possesses good bacteriostatic activity against to staphylococcus and Ecoli with alovera. Representative bacteria, demonstrated by the zone of inhibition. However, there was no reduction in the number of bacteria, proving the lack of bactericidal activity. Demonstrate its excellent ability to block the UV radiation. The washing durability was also confirmed by performing repeated home laundering
