title: Ultrasound-assisted coating of polyester fiber with silver bromide nanoparticles.
abstract: The growth of silver bromide nanoparticles on polyester fiber was achieved by sequential dipping steps in alternating bath of potassium bromide and silver nitrate under ultrasound irradiation. The effects of ultrasound irradiation, concentration and sequential dipping steps in growth of the AgBr nanoparticles have been studied. Particle sizes and morphology of nanoparticle are depending on power of ultrasound irradiation, sequential dipping steps and concentration. These systems depicted a decrease in the particles size accompanying an increase in the sonication power. Results suggest that an increasing of sequential dipping steps and concentration led to an increasing of particle size. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
