Abstract
Sliver nanocolloids have been synthesized by chemical reduction of sliver salt solution, characterized by SEM usage of nanoparticles. Sliver nanocolloids are treated with wool fibres and dyed wool fibres (direct and acid dyes). The physical properties, colour strength, and fastness properties have been studied for dyed wool fibres and ordinary wool fibres. It is observed that the fibres with nanotreated fibres have better strength than untreated wool fibres. It is also observed that there is considerable improvement in colour strength and colour fastness of silver nanocolloids-treated wool fibres (dyed).
