  Abstract

Green synthesis is a widely known silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) synthesis method. Hundreds of biological extracts have been applied for synthesizing of AgNPs. This study used C. reticulata, C. sativus and C. arvensis as plant extracts for AgNPs synthesis. It depicted the supremacy of C. arvensis in green synthesis. Here, we compared the nanoparticle’s morphology and antibacterial activity of C. arvensis synthesized AgNPs with other previously accomplished works on different plant extracts. The AgNPs were incorporated in cotton fabrics with multiple methods. We used FTIR, UV–Vis, SEM, EDS, XRD, antibacterial activity, and wash fastness for characterization. The SEM image shows C. arvensis plant can synthesize different shapes, whereas C. reticulata synthesizes nearly spherical shapes. It also showed the C. arvensis plant extract exhibited 96% antibacterial activity after 20 washes with double padding methods, which is the best among the available works on antibacterial wash fastness without any binder or cross-linkers. In contrast, Citrus reticulata showed 88% antibacterial activity after five washes.
