Antimicrobial and mechanical properties of functionalized textile by nanoarchitectured photoinduced Ag@polymer coating
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2023, 14, 95–109, doi:10.3762/bjnano.14.11
- , metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) are of particular interest for such applications as they exhibit impressive antibacterial and antifungal properties. Unlike antibiotics for example, that target cell wall synthesis, translational machinery and DNA replication inside bacteria cells [7], MNPs simply attack
- to exhibit antifungal properties. Lastauskiené et al. [52] showed that formic acid can induce programmed cell death in several Candida species, including C. albicans pathogens. In vitro testing revealed MIC values of 1.22 mg/mL (26.5 mM) on C. albicans thus suggesting a mild but significant
Engineered titania nanomaterials in advanced clinical applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2022, 13, 201–218, doi:10.3762/bjnano.13.15
- , and it is considered a potent candidate for modifying TiO2 by photodeposition or radiolytic reduction. The prepared material exhibited antibacterial and antifungal properties under UV, visible and solar irradiation, and even in darkness [85]. Intriguingly, an enhanced antimicrobial activity of TiO2
A review on the biological effects of nanomaterials on silkworm (Bombyx mori)
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2021, 12, 190–202, doi:10.3762/bjnano.12.15
- ), graphene oxide, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) [24][25][26], quantum dots, and superparamagnetic particles [27] have been reported to have antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans [28] and Xanthomonas perforans, antifungal properties against Fusarium oxysporum [27] and Fusarium graminearum [29
Antimicrobial metal-based nanoparticles: a review on their synthesis, types and antimicrobial action
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2020, 11, 1450–1469, doi:10.3762/bjnano.11.129
- antibacterial activities against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, methicillin-sensitive and resistant S. aureus [117]. Suganya et al. (2018) developed a potent antifungal nanocomposite with NiO NPs against the Aspergillus niger strain. The authors attributed the excellent antifungal properties to the physical process
Silver-decorated gel-shell nanobeads: physicochemical characterization and evaluation of antibacterial properties
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2020, 11, 620–630, doi:10.3762/bjnano.11.49
- generate metallic nanoparticles embedded in the shell. Such structures have been demonstrated to reveal antibacterial and antifungal properties. For example, Zhao et al. prepared micrometer-sized hybrid particles in a multi-step preparation involving the sulfonation of polystyrene beads and the
Noble metal-modified titania with visible-light activity for the decomposition of microorganisms
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2018, 9, 829–841, doi:10.3762/bjnano.9.77
- found that silver-modified titania showed superior antibacterial activity, whereas gold-modified samples were very active against fungi, suggesting that bimetallic photocatalysts containing both gold and silver should exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties. Keywords: antifungal properties
- promote new ones. Moreover, fungi as more complex microorganisms than bacteria and viruses are much more resistant to antimicrobial agents. Therefore, there is a great need to develop new efficient antifungal materials. Regarding this, the antifungal properties of plasmonic photocatalysts have been tested
- may be considered as positive results indicating a high stability of photocatalysts. However, it should be concluded that the antifungal properties of silver-modified titania are not attractive for commercial application. Moreover, the small inhibition zones around discs were difficult to evaluate
Electron interaction with copper(II) carboxylate compounds
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2018, 9, 384–398, doi:10.3762/bjnano.9.38
- medical applications because copper exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties [28]. In FEBID experiments, the deposited Cu–C lines and squares, obtained from the fluorinated copper(II) β-diketonate [Cu(hfac)2], had an atomic ratio of approximately Cu/C/O/F = 10:64:25:1. In materials obtained using
Photothermal effect of gold nanostar patterns inkjet-printed on coated paper substrates with different permeability
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2016, 7, 1480–1485, doi:10.3762/bjnano.7.140
- , and our future study will be focused on studying antibacterial and antifungal properties of these surfaces, and on the NIR-triggered release of drugs bound to printed gold surface as an additional and valuable effect. AFM topographical images (10 µm ×10 µm) of paper substrates with (left side) and
Paper modified with ZnO nanorods – antimicrobial studies
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2012, 3, 684–691, doi:10.3762/bjnano.3.78
- and H2O2 are harmful to the cells of living organisms and are the major contributors to antibacterial activity [11][12][13]. ZnO nanoparticles are reported to have significant antifungal properties against B. cinerea and P. expansum, and the inhibitory effects were found to increase with an increase
- in the concentration of the nanoparticles [14]. Other metal oxides, such as iron oxide, also exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties, as have been reported by Prucek et al. [15]. In a photocatalysis process, electron–hole pairs are generated through photonic excitation of wide-band-gap metal
