Abstract

In recent years, there has been a lot of attention in producing and using of renewable and environmental friendly cellulose film and coverage. Regarding to the application of these films and coverages in different industries such as food, packaging and medical industries, their antimicrobial property is apparent. The purpose of this research is producing cellulose antibacterial film. At first, long fibr pulp convert to NFC using a supergrinder and then nanosilver treated films prepared applying silver nitrate through two different ways. In the first method, silver nanoparticles with considerations of 5 and 10 ppm reduced on NFC particles’ surface using retention aid. In second methods the prepared NFC film has been immersed in solution of Ag nanoparticle in concentration levels of 5 and 10 ppm. On higher concentration of used nanosilver solution, the amount of retained Ag nanoparticle in the first method was higher than the second one whereas, on lower concentration one, the differences of retained nanosilver values between two methods was a little. It has worth of mentioning that immerging method has the benefit of avoiding Ag nanoparticle wasting during pulp draining and nanosilver solutions could be reused simply.
