Nanosilver leverage on reactive dyeing of cellulose fibers: Color shading, color fastness and biocidal potentials

The current approach focuses on studying the leverage of nanosilver (AgNPs) incorporation on the dyeing process of viscose fibers by blue reactive dye. Nanosilver was straightway incorporated into viscose fibers using sodium citrate as nanogenerator. Owing to AgNPs incorporation, color of fibers was turned to greenish-blue and darker greenish color was observed with low Ag content (<1 g/kg). Regardless to the processes sequencing, color strength...
