| Abstract | ||||
| This work studies the possibility of using (GDPAP) to activate the polyamide fabric surface. This activation facilitates the loading of sliver nano particles NPs onto the polyamide fabric and as a result improves its bacterial properties. The washing durability on silver-loaded fabric for Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli were estimated. Transimsion Electron Microscopy (TEM) observation of silver nanoparticles showed their shape, and size distribution. The deposition of nanosilver on polyamide fabric was characterized using atomic force microscope (AFM) and amount of silver in fabric was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The change induced in roughness, wettability, and printability of polyamide 6 fabric is given. The surface resistivity of polyamide is affected after plasma treatment. | ||||
