Abstract: The paper focused on the application of nano-silver on natural fiber, synthetic fiber textiles and industrial textiles. Nano-silver, in single or mixture form, can provide textiles not only with durable, high efficiency, wide spectrum antibacterial function, but also antistatic function, electromagnetic radiation resistance, conductive function and ultraviolet absorption. Moreover, it can improve the thermal stability of some composite material.

Key words: nano-silver; antibacterial fabric; functional textiles
