Popis: | Naturally-occurring diatomite has been successfully utilised as a unique encapsulating material to obtain a highly dispersed suspension of uniformly-sized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Plant derived gallic acid was used as the reducing and capping agent. High-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy results confirmed the attachment of AgNPs on the surface of diatom frustule and maintained an excellent dispersion stability against particle aggregation. The AgNPs obtained were employed for the colouration of bleached human hair owing to the local surface plasmonic absorption (LSPR) of the AgNPs. The effects of Ag/diatomite concentration, dyeing pH, temperature and time on the produced colour were investigated. Hair fibres treated under optimised conditions display good colour fastness toward solar radiation. The morphology and chemical composition of AgNP-dyed hair were determined by energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The biocompatibility of the Ag/diatomite composite, AgNPs, and the dyebaths were confirmed by in vitro acute dermal and ocular toxicity tests. The diatomite supporting AgNPs therefore hold good promise and enormous potential to be exploited for sustainable dyeing of human hair. |
