The current approach focuses on studying the leverage of nanosilver (AgNPs) incorporation on the dyeing process of viscose fibers by blue reactive dye. Nanosilver was straightway incorporated into viscose fibers using sodium citrate as nanogenerator. Owing to AgNPs incorporation, color of fibers was turned to greenish-blue and darker greenish color was observed with low Ag content (< 1 g/kg). Regardless to the processes sequencing, color strength of fibers was magnified by increasing in Ag content. The constancy of fibers color was not affected by AgNPs inclusion, whatever the processes sequencing and Ag content. Release property of Ag from fibers into water was considerably depended on the processes sequencing. By incorporation of AgNPs firstly, the lowest Ag release value was estimated (0.25 g/kg after 24 h). Antimicrobial activities were significantly improved by AgNPs incorporation. Reduction in bacteria and fungi was reached 92.4% and 67.9% after 24 h contact time, respectively.
