Introduction Dyeing procedure

Silver nanoparticles applications • Dye bath composition

• MLR 1:20
• Dye concentration – 4 %
• Sodium sulphate –
Glauber salt – 20 gpl
• Soda ash – 10gpl General Exhaust dyeing procedure followed for
• Levelling agent - 10gpl - dyeing with Fluro triazine based reactive dyes (
Coralite Blue FL-R)
Natural ways of synthesizing Silver nanoparticles Results and Discussion
• SEM micrographs of dyed with reactive dye and untreated with silver
nanoparticles

Surface micrographs suggest a clear surface of the fabric when untreated with
Objectives
AGNPs, except some specy substance present which may be attributed to
