In this study, we report the development of physically cross-linked hydroxyethyl cellulose grafted polyacrylic acid-co-polyacrylamide/silver nanocomposite [Ag@HEC-g-P(AA-co-AM)-Fe] possesses excellent antimicrobial and enhanced MB adsorption. A green in-situ reduction process was used to prepare silver nanoparticles. UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, ATR-IR, XRD, SEM-EDS were used to analyze the green produced silver nanoparticles and Ag@HEC-g-P(AA-co-AM)-Fe.

- The research focused on creating controlled drug delivery systems using chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) to deliver antibiotic drugs like tetracycline, gentamycin, and ciprofloxacin effectively.
- CSNPs were produced through ionic gelation with tripolyphosphate, resulting in antibiotic-loaded nanocomposites that demonstrated strong antibacterial properties with low toxicity.
- Treated fabrics, including 100% cotton and a cotton/polyester blend, displayed effective inhibition of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as confirmed by FTIR and SEM analyses showing the integration of nanoparticles with the fabrics.
