  Abstract

Nickel ferrite nanoparticles ( NiFe2O4) have been proposed as a promising candidate for bacterial inactivation. In this study, cotton fabrics were modified by employing a simple adsorption technique to incorporate NiFe2O4. The surface morphology and quantitative analysis of the NiFe2O4- modified cotton fabrics were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The shape and distribution of the NiFe2O4 within the cotton fabrics were examined through highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis of cross-section fabric samples. The synthesized NiFe2O4 exhibited a nanospheric shape with a particle size diameter ranging from 40 to 60 nm. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis confirmed the mesoporous nature of the modified cotton fabric samples. The antibacterial efficacy of the nickel ferrite nanoparticle-modified fabrics was evaluated against Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria. Furthermore, the durability of the NiFe2O4 nanoparticles on the fabric surface was assessed by subjecting the modified fabrics to 50 cycles of laundering washing, which demonstrated that the nanoparticles did not leach out even after repeated washings.
