This study presented a simple and environmentally friendly method of in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on cotton fabrics for durable ultraviolet (UV) protection and antibacterial activity using Aloe vera leaf extraction (AVE) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Cotton fabrics were pretreated in water, and then immersed in AgNO3 and AVE, respectively. Cotton fabrics were characterized by small angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis, UV protection, antibacterial activity, and laundering durability. Comparing with the smooth surface of the control cotton fabric, SEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) results showed that there were a considerable number of Ag2O and AgNPs loading on the surface of the pretreated and Ag loaded cotton fabrics. The XRD pattern indicated, respectively, the existence of Ag2O and AgNPs, the structures of which were similar to JCPDS File No.65-3289 and JCPDS File No. 01-071-4613 on the pretreated and Ag loaded cotton fabrics. The pretreated and Ag loaded cotton fabrics showed excellent UV protection, antibacterial activity, and laundering durability, especially the Ag loaded cotton fabric, of which the UV protection factor value and transmission of UVA were 148 and 1.11%, respectively, after 20 washing cycles, and the clear zone width was more than 4 mm against E. coli or S. aureus. AgNPs facilitated the improvement of the thermal property of the cotton fabrics. Thus this facile in situ reduction of AgNPs with AVE may bring a promising and green strategy to produce functional textiles.

Poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4’-diaminodiphenyl ether) (PPO) microspheres were prepared via a precipitation polymerization method, using hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and 4,4’-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) as monomers. Silver-loaded PPO (PPOA) microspheres were generated by the in situ loading of silver nanoparticles onto the surface by Ag+ reduction. Our results showed that PPOA microspheres were successfully prepared with a relatively uniform distribution of silver nanoparticles on microsphere surfaces. PPOA microspheres had good thermal stability and excellent antibacterial activity towards Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, PPOA microspheres exhibited lower cytotoxicity when compared to citrate-modified silver nanoparticles (c-Ag), and good sustained release properties. Our data indicated that polyphosphazene-based PPOA microspheres are promising antibacterial agents in the biological materials field.

In this report, we designed and synthesized polyacrylonitrile/silver (PAN/AgNPs) nanofibers via an in-situ method to obtain a washable with high-dispersed silver nanoparticles membrane to form the hierarchically organized antibacterial mask to prevent the two-way effect of bacteria from person to environment and environment to person. For this objective, the electrospun PAN nanofibers were stabilized via the heating method. Different amounts of AgNPs were loaded into the PAN nanofibers by using silver nitrate and sodium hydroxide solutions. The basic results showed that AgNPs was homogenously loaded in PAN nanofiber matrixes. Furthermore, the release profile based on two-stage release theory showed that when the negligible amount of AgNPs was loaded into the nanofibers, the release significantly decreased, whereas antibacterial activity increased. The greatest potential antibacterial activity of the lowest amount of AgNPs showed controllable AgNPs release from PAN nanofibers that has a direct relationship with the washability and could promote the application of the produced product.
