Spiky Ag Nanoparticles for Super-Efficient Antibacterial Surface Coatings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles have gained popularity for use in medical devices, washing powdersand water treatments largely due to the emergence of resistant bacteria (superbugs) and theresultant reduction in the effective number of available treatments. However concerns havebeen raised due to the high concentrations required including the lack of available Agresources and associated toxicity levels. LIG Biowise’s aim is to reduce the level of Agexposure by developing a novel method to produce spiky nanoparticles.
