Abstract

A novel method has been developed to coat silver nanoparticles on the surface of jute fibre by in situ synthesis while exploring the inherent reducing and metal-binding properties of jute fibre. The in situ synthesis and subsequent coating of silver nanoparticles on the surface of jute fibre were assessed by SEM, EDX spectra, XRD spectra, ICP-AES, AFM, TGA spectra, FTIR spectra and colourimetric values. The results showed that silver nanoparticles of 40–100 nm formed and coated the surface of the jute fibre. Moreover, the silver nanoparticle-coated jute fabric showed resistance against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli and also had washing durability of up to 15 home launderings.
