The main target ofTthis study is to develop an antibacterial chitosan nanocomposite fabric among in situ crated silver nanoparticles utilizing Vitex leafTextract, which i s amedicinal herb. The CNCFs were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy,Xray diffraction (XRD), and antimicrobial testing. Additionally, these CNCFs have excellent antibacterial characteristics. These CNCFs could be used in medical applic ations like surgical aprons, wound cleansing, wound dressing, and hospital bed mat erials, as they were manufactured utilising a simple and environmentally acceptable approach.
