Over the past few years, antimicrobial textiles have gained considerable interest for use in
different application fields. Because of these reasons, a wide range of antimicrobial agents …

This article reviews select contemporary silver (Ag) compounds used for the chemical
modification of textile fibers, including colloidal Ag, Ag salts, and Ag powder. The routes of …

In this study, an industrially scalable method is reported for the fabrication of polylactic acid
(PLA)/silver nanoparticle (AgNP) nanocomposite filaments by an in-situ reduction reactive …

This paper reports a novel route for the coloration of polyester fabric with green synthesized
silver nanoparticles (G-AgNPs@ PET) using chitosan as a natural eco-friendly reductant …

Water bodies are being contaminated daily due to industrial, agricultural and domestic
