Antibacterial activity by nanosilver particles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Abstract
The antibacterial activity of nanosilver against Gram negative Escherichia coli bacteria is investigated by immobilizing nanosilver on nanostructured silica particles and closely controlling Ag content and size. These Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by S/TEM, EDX spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. The antibacterical activity of these composite samples was investigated for a constant composite particle concentration. The highest activity was observed for the higher silver content particles.
