The nylon 6/silver nano composite fibers were prepared for the attainment of permanent antibacterial activity to common synthetic textile. The fibers prepared by melt spinning and nylon 6/ Silver nanocomposite were prepared by a modular twin screw extruder.. The antibacterial activities of nano silver in fibers were calculated by percent reduction of two kinds of bacteria staphylococcus aurous and klebsiela peneumoniae. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out to observe particle distribution on the nanocomposite fibers. All the nanocomposite fibers were characterized by instron machine.
