Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles attract huge attention nowadays. In the current study, zirconium nanoparticles were prepared and impregnated on cotton gauze fabrics by the reduction of zirconium oxychloride. The synthesized zirconium nanoparticles (ZrNPs) were analyzed using UV–Vis absorption, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results revealed that the ZrNPs were spherical in shape and crystalline in nature and ranged in size from 10 to 80 nm. Cotton gauze fabrics containing ZrNPs were studied for antimicrobial properties. ZrNPs were uniformly distributed and a high deposition density was observed on the surface of the cotton. Cotton fabrics loaded with the synthesized ZrNPs showed remarkable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Therefore, the current work may aid to further investigate the zirconium nanoparticles synthesized using Piper betel for their potential applications in wound dressings.
