| Abstract: |
| Nowadays, application of suitable and low-cost method for loading of nanoparticles on a flexible substrate is in the center of attention. Also, green chemistry or applicable methods with the least amount of hazardous chemicals should be considered for loading of nanoparticles on a flexible substrate. This work was aimed to introduce polyester fabric with appropriate multi-functional properties. For this purpose, first the surface of the fabric was hydrolyzed through green chemistry and then silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles were in-situ synthesized on the fabric. Various properties of the final fabric were evaluated including FESEM images, EDX, XRD and self-cleaning and antibacterial properties. The results showed that the presence of silver/zinc oxide nanocomposites on the fabric caused antibacterial characteristics against two Gram negative and positive bacteria. The ZnO nanoparticle was synthesized on the fabric with rice-like shape along with spherical shaped nanosilver on top of them. Also photocatalytic properties, and washing fastness of the mentioned sample was also examined. |
