  Abstract

Miniaturization to nano-sized structures is recently described as the most extensively considered trend in science and industry. This field of research also holds immense potentiality for the application in textile industry. Various techniques are recently shown to be available and can be applied to produce uniform film of functional moieties to be uploaded within the textile matrix to acquire the finished fabrics special functionalities that are hitherto unknown in textile industrialization. Herein, unique methodology is demonstrated for functional finishing of wool via self-nucleation of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) especially gold and palladium nanoparticles (AuNPs and PdNPs). MNPs were in situ clustered within native wool using two different concentrations (100 and 300 ppm). Mean size of palladium in the supernatants was evaluated via transmission electron microscopic images to be 8.8 ± 4.0 and 7.1 ± 3.2 nm, for 100 ppm and 300 ppm, respectively. Whereas, in case of gold in the supernatants, mean size was estimated to be 30.3 ± 6.5 and 29.7 ± 10.9 nm, for 100 ppm and 300 ppm, respectively. The yellowness index was observably raised from 15.67 for wool finished with 300 ppm of AuNPs to 74.99 for wool finished with the same concentration of PdNPs. Functional fishing of wool with higher concentration of AuNPs exhibited the highest antimicrobial performance compared to the other tested samples, whereas, after five washings, the microbial reduction percent was estimated. Ultraviolet protection was superiorly improved with in situ nucleation of MNPs. In summarization, it could be decided that the currently designed technique could be promisingly applied for the preparation of highly durable functional wool fabrics.
