Abstract

A solution containing 3-Mercaptopropyltr-imethoxysilane(MPTMS) was employed to modify surface of cotton fabrics with a silver colloid. Silver nanoparticles were applied on cotton fabrics via treatment with 3-MPTMS. The rate of silver nanoparticles on the fabric surface were measured with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS). EDS results confirm the silver atom on the cotton surface.
