Abstract

The research aims to study the effect of the different Type of weft yarn on the Resistance of microbe to Cellulosic Fabrics treated with Silver nanoparticles, and to obtain the most suitable type of the yarn of the weft, as well as the best Concentration Treatment of silver nanoparticles on microbial resistance to fabrics produced under research, Crepe fabrics were produced using three types of weft yarn (Cotton100% -Viscose100% -Fibran100% ), (100% ) cotton yarn  for the warp, then The produced fabrics were treated with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (100 ml/l -200 ml/l -300 ml/l), then immersed, Squeezed and dried at the installation temperature (140°C),then some laboratory tests done on fabrics produced under the research (Air permeability, tensile strength, elongation, weight per square meter, absorption time, microbial resistance) The study found that the weft yarn (fibran) treated with (300) ml/l, silver nanoparticles is the best sample of the fabrics produced under research for all measured properties, especially microbe resistance with a quality coefficient of ( 92.3%(
