Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have outstanding antimicrobial effects, but their weak adhesive force onto cotton fiber surfaces often causes undesired silver loss from antibacterial fabrics, diminishing antibacterial durability, and even leading to environmental and health risks. To improve adhesion of the Ag NPs, various strategies have been tried, but achieving long-term antibacterial effectiveness still remains challenging. Here, l-methionine is proposed as a binder reagent because it has low toxicity towards mammalian cells and has a methyl group to enhance its coordination ability. The antibacterial cotton fabric was fabricated a very simple pad-dry-cure process: after dipping a cotton fabric in an l-methionine solution followed with heating for esterification, Ag NPs are formed the reaction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride. The resulting cotton fabric exhibits an excellent antibacterial property and laundering durability. Its bacterial reduction rates (BR) against both and remained over 97% even after 90 consecutive laundering cycles. Moreover, the modification causes insignificant damage to cotton's characteristics, such as tensile breaking strength, water absorptivity, and vapor permeability.
