Abstract

The aim of this research is to produce fabric treated with UV protective finish using herbal synthesized colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles (H-AgNPs). In this purpose, the solution was synthesized with Tulsi (Holy Basil) extract. One cotton knit sample was prepared with ten layers of colloidal solution of H-AgNPs through pad-dry-cure method. Second sample was produced with one layer using ten times concentrated colloidal solution of H-AgNPs following the same procedure. Treated samples were subjected to colour strength (K/S value) measurement, SEM analysis, FTIR analysis and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) test. The K/S value of the second sample was very close to the tenth layer of the first sample. From SEM image of second sample, it was revealed that a large amount of H-AgNPs were deposited on the fibre surface. In terms of UPF test, second sample possessed excellent UPF rating. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of phytochemicals of Tulsi (Holy Basil) extract on treated sample. Due to the availability of Tulsi in nature and the low cost of raw materials, this process can be considered to apply commercially and also for further research purpose.
