In the present work we demonstrate formation of bimetallic Ag/Cu NPs (BMNP) on the surface of cotton tissue. Simple and cheap method of tissue preparation includes the impregnation with the salts solution followed by ironing at app. 200°C. Enhanced bactericidal action of obtained tissue samples against series of microorganisms occurred due to the synergetic effect. BMNP are distributed on the tissue surface enough homogeneously, but Ag:Cu ratio within bimetallic NPs slightly differs from each other on various parts of tissue due to irregularity of textile structure on which NPs are fixed. The increased antimicrobial action of Ag/Cu/ tissue compounds is probably a result of the release of bioactive Ag+ and Cu2+ ions from the surface of BMNP and their availability in combination interact with bacterial membranes. Tissues modified by Ag/Cu bimetallic NPs have great potential in the preparation of drugs against bacteria.
