Abstract

A facile green synthesis route for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed to realize multifunction for Ioncell fabrics. Bleached birch pulp was used to prepare gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by reducing chloroauric acid (CA) in situ on cellulose, forming cellulose-AuNPs compounds. The color of pulp changed from white to purple due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of AuNPs. Subsequently, the obtained colored pulp was utilized to spin fibers after dissolving in the [DBNH][ OAc]. And finally, the fabrics were knitted for the end-use. During this process, factors including the added amount of CA solution, pH, the addition of CTAB, and the combination of silver ions, were studied. The Ioncell fibers treated with AuNPs showed good mechanical properties. Moreover, the AuNPs endowed Ioncell fabrics with excellent washing fastness and strong UV protection property.
