Non-woven fabric cut into little squares were immersed in a
preformed synthesized silver nanoparticles solution (temperature:
80 ◦C, silver nitrate concentration: 0.5 mM, pH 11, 0.1 mL of the
extract and incubation time: 90 min). For the successive treatment
of non-woven fabric with colloidal silver, the solution was agitated
continuously for 30 min. The non-woven fabric was then dried at
120 ◦C for 5 min under vacuum condition. The dried samples were
washed with distilled water to removal the unreduced Ag+ ions.
The washed samples were again dried at 120 ◦C for 5 min under
vacuum conditions. The antibacterial efficacy was evaluated for: (1)
samples treated with mango peel extract (0.1 mL in 27 mL distilled
water) (control) and (2) samples treated with silver nanoparticles
solution.
