Nonwoven fabrics are the primary source of disposable medical clothing, which cause a huge medical waste. One possible way to reuse this disposable clothing is through antibacterial treatment. Among various metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are preferable regarding ecology and human health. Green synthesis is an ecological alternative to synthesize AgNPs from silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized from Calendula arvensis extract and AgNO3 at a certain temperature and incorporated into the fabric by padding and in-situ method. The pretreatments applied to the nonwoven fabric were found very important in terms of providing antibacterial activity. AgNPs applied according to the in situ method could provide 99% antibacterial activity on nonwoven surface fabrics. The samples treated by AgNPs with the in situ method performed better for both particle filtration efficiency (PFE) and bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) than the samples treated with the padding method.
