In the present scenario of environment consciousness, the new quality requirements not only emphasize onthe intrinsic functionality and long service life of the product but also production process that is environment friendly. Inthe present study an attempt was made to finish cotton textiles with herbal based, copper nanoparticles with differentsizes and shapes to impart the antimicrobial finish. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized with plant sources as a corematerial and the variation of concentration of the leaf/petals extract with the reducing agent has yielded different shapesand sizes of nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images at 30 and 40 magnification, showed the sizeand shapes of the NPs between 90-98nm from all plant sources and the shapes obtained were spherical, oval, multiple,rod and hexagonal.
