Nano silver functionalized surfaces

Abstract

A green synthesis of Ag nanosolhas been developed and optimized, achieving key-properties for large-scale production. .The bactericidal properties of Ag were improved by mixing Ag and TiO2nanosolsfor application under UV irradiation .The suspension were applied to ceramic and glass surfaces and preserved the nano-scale structure and reactivity also after heating treatments (up to 1100?C) .The coated surfaces were tested over Escherichia Coli (gram negative bacteria) and in all cases were detected an high antibacterial activity even after 24 hour
