The antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles have sparked a lot of interest for using them in various fields. Due to the chemical and physical characteristics of woolen fabrics which provide a good place for the growth and multiplication of microbes, the application of these nanoparticles can help produce antimicrobial properties in the products. On the other hand, using biocompatible herbal compounds in producing silver nanoparticles is an effective step toward the immunization of the process and the final application of the product.
Majid Nasiri Boroumand, one of the researchers for the project, said the aim of the study was to obtain an echo-friendly method to develop and apply silver nanoparticles to carpet weaving industry so that antimicrobial properties could be added to the final product.
