Antibacterial Activity of Ag-Cu-O Nanocomposite - Thermal Reduction Method
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 9, No 3 (2020) pp. 13-18
Abstract
The development of nanocomposite with antimicrobial property and stability has gained greater interest nowadays. The incorporation of silver, whose microbial activity is well known in the copper oxide matrix, had resulted in an amazing property. This new nanocomposite is a potential material in medical, food packaging, water treatment and pharmaceutical fields. Copper and silver are abundant in nature and cost-effective too. To synthesis high purity Ag-Cu-O nanocomposite, novel thermal degradation method was used in the present work. Structure, surface and optical characteristics were studied in detail. The microbial activity of the synthesized nanocomposite in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were studied by disc method and compared with the existing reports.
