Abstract

Stabilized silver nanoparticles, in solutions sodium-carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC), were synthesized and their structure and physico-chemical properties were studied. The forms and sizes of silver nanoparticles were studied by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy methods, which silver nanoparticles are loaded in solutions CMC and grafted cotton fabrics. Investigations show that spherical silver nanoparticles with size 5-35nm and with content of 0.0085% mass. in cotton fabrics has a high bactericidal activity. Stabilization of silver nanoparticles helps to save the bactericidal and bacteriostatic activity during washing the cotton fabrics and textiles on their basis.
