Abstract
This study aims to compare the antibacterial action of silver in ionic form (Ag+
) with that of silver in a reduced state (Ag0), when it is in the form of nanoparticles (AgNPs). Silver, in both states, has been studied in terms of its interaction
with β-cyclodextrin grafted onto cellulose fibers through the monochlorotriazinyl function. We attempted a correlation
of the stability of the complex formed by the two forms of silver with their antibacterial action and resistance to
washing of the silver attached to fiber.
