Artificial neural network-guided phyto-synthesis of Pd/Pt bimetallic nanoparticles on cotton: sustainable textile functionalization with antibacterial and colorimetric properties from saffron waste

Key Points

• Antibacterial properties of the textile increased significantly with bimetallic nanoparticles.
• The artificial neural network showed effective guidance in synthesizing nanoparticles from saffron waste.
• Textiles exhibited distinct colorimetric properties attributed to the synthesized nanoparticles.
• Results may enable sustainable practices in textile functionalization using natural resources.
