Abstract
In the current study, the bamboo rayon fabric was grafted with acrylic acid using potassium persulfate as an initiator
and further treated with silver nitrate followed by borohydride reduction. The modified product was characterized using
FTIR, TGA and SEM. The characteristic brown colour developed after reduction was measured
spectrophotometrically. The grafted bamboo rayon with nanosilver was then evaluated for antibacterial activity against
both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and the durability of their antibacterial activity after washing. The
product showed antibacterial activity against both types of bacteria, which was found to be durable until 50 washes.
