Research data for “Valorisation of Persicaria odorata as a Bioresource for Green Functionalisation of Cotton and Polyester Textiles with Silver Nanoparticles”
Description
This dataset contains source and processed experimental data supporting a study of Persicaria odorata-mediated silver nanoparticles (PO-AgNPs) and their functionalisation onto cotton and polyester fabrics. The deposited material includes UV–Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) particle-size measurements, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta-potential data, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) records, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), disc diffusion measurements, AATCC TM100 and ASTM E2149 antibacterial data, air permeability, water-vapour transmission rate (WVTR), tensile testing, and CCK-8 cytocompatibility data. Sample abbreviations are C-C (untreated cotton), C-AgNP (PO-AgNP-functionalised cotton), P-C (untreated polyester), and P-AgNP (PO-AgNP-functionalised polyester). The dataset includes consolidated supporting data together with relevant source files, instrument exports, reports, and microscopy images.

Steps to reproduce
The experimental procedures used to generate these data are described in the associated manuscript. Briefly, Persicaria odorata-mediated silver nanoparticles (PO-AgNPs) were synthesised using aqueous leaf extract and AgNO₃ and subsequently functionalised onto cotton and polyester fabrics by repeated immersion and drying. The resulting materials were characterised using UV–Vis spectroscopy, TEM, DLS, zeta-potential analysis, FESEM/EDX, FTIR, XRD, and TGA/DTA. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using disc diffusion, AATCC TM100, and ASTM E2149 methods. Air permeability, water-vapour transmission rate, and breaking force were evaluated using the corresponding ASTM methods, and cytocompatibility was assessed using a CCK-8 assay with HSF-1184 human skin fibroblasts. Raw/source data and processed supporting data are provided in the deposited files. Detailed experimental conditions, calculations, and statistical analyses are provided in the associated manuscript.
