Abstract
A successful approach for the in situ silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) generation by caffeic assisted reduction of a silver salt on silk fabric is reported herein. The formation of AgNPs in solution was monitored by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The morphological structure of AgNPs formed on silk fabric was observed by scanning electron microscopy studies. Inductively coupled plasma technique was used to determine the silver content of the treated fabric. An increase in the amount of caffeic acid and silver nitrate resulted in more silver being deposited on silk fabric. The measurements of the colour characteristics, UV-protection ability, and antibacterial properties of the treated fabrics revealed that the caffeic acid assisted in situ generation of AgNPs imparted good multi-functional properties and displayed golden yellow color to the treated fabrics.
