One pot synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with well-defined size using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as stabilizing agent and sodium borohybride (NaBH4) as reducing agent was successfully performed. Preparation of AgNPs was carried out under a variety of conditions including concentrations of AgNPs, PVA and NaBH4. UV-vis spectra and TEM images were employed to characterize AgNPs obtained under the said different conditions. Physical and mechanical properties of cotton/polyester fabric treated with the as-synthesized silver nanoparticles were measured. SEM and EDX used to scanning and monitoring the morphology and elemental change pertaining to fabric surface. Antibacterial activity against E.coli as Gm ve bacteria and Staphylococcus aurous bacteria as Gm +ve bacteria were successfully examined against the treated and untreated fabrics.
