Abstract: Biological aspects of nanoferrite incorporation is growing in demand in textile industries. In this regard the present study focuses on the synthesis of nanoferrite with Nickel substitution by Coprecipitation route. Structural studies of the nanoferrites was analyzed using X-ray diffraction. The chemical analyses determined by TEM, was in good agreement with that of XRD analysis. Thermal analysis by TG/DTA inferred that nanoferrites were thermally stable due to Ni dopants added with the compounds. MgMnNiFe2O4 nanoferrites on cotton fabrics was subjected antibacterial assay on various pathogenic microorganism and exhibits the zone of inhibition. The fabricated nanoferrites on cotton fabrics showed great durability evidenced by their antibacterial activities even after 20 washing cycles. Hence, the functionalized cotton fabrics could be used as a potential antibacterial agent.
