The in uence of Ketoconazole and β-CD/Ketoconazole was previously reported on cotton fabric as fungal skincare; however, the impact of nanosilver on the antifungal and antibacterial properties of the same products is unknown. Here, silver NPs were synthesized on β-CD/KZ composites and then attached to the cotton using a cross-linking agent. The nanocomposites and treated fabrics were analyzed by UVvis, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential and FE-SEM. The drug delivery and cytotoxicity of the products were also studied. The nanocomposites antimicrobial e ciency was examined on Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger as fungi and E. coli & S. aureus as bacteria. The synthesis of Ag-NPs on the β-CD/KZ ampli es both antifungal and antibacterial e ciencies. This also extends the drug regular release time for medical and drug delivery purposes. Having tremendous antimicrobial activities without cytotoxicity effects and regular release time of drug with excellent washing durability of treated samples make it suitable for medical applications likewise wound dressings and sportswear designed for sensitive skin.
