Abstract
In conjunction with the increasing public awareness of the infectious diseases, textile industry and scientists are developed hygienic fabrics by the addition of various antimicrobial compounds. The current investigation was carried out using nano-silver applied to wool fibers for studying its effects on wool quality and antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial activity is investigated against a broad range of microorganisms including bacteria, yeast and fungi. Moreover, dyeing of wool fibers treated with silver nitrate with extracted dye from the filamentous fungus, Pencillium purpurogenum by using innovation technique to save energy and time. In order to obtain color of aimed specific red hue, the influence of certain dyeing process conditions namely dyestuff concentration, pH, temperature, and duration of the dyeing process were studied. Antimicrobial effect is derived from nano-silver particles (diameter between 1 and 100 nm) which are adhered to the fibers. The fibers treated with silver particles was dyed by the investigated dye, and the antimicrobial activity was recorded. The wool materials showed antimicrobial effects by killing and/or suppressing growth of a broad spectrum of microbes such as Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results indicated that nano-silver application was reflected positively on the zones of growth inhibition of wool fibers E. coli gave the highest diameter of the inhibition zone. On the hand, the applied pigment and the nano forms showed minimum effect on C. alibicans and A. niger
