Future Prospects of Phytosynthesized Transition Metal Nanoparticles as Novel Functional Agents for Textiles

Ferulic acid promoted in-situ generation of AgNPs@silk as functional colorants

“…22,23 Several plant derived reductants have been used for the production and application of AgNPs to different types of textile substrates by both ex situ and in situ methods. 12,24,25 Among plant derived reductants, natural polyphenols play a key role in these processes and are suitable for the large-scale biosynthesis of highly stable nanoparticles. [26][27][28] Ferulic acid, a natural plant polyphenol, is used as reductant in this study.…”
