Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles on polypropylene nonwovens: towards antimi...
Marković, Darka; Tomšič, Brigita; Zille, Andrea; Ribeiro, Ana Isabel Ferreira; Ilic‐Tomic, Tatjana; Tadić, Vanja; Simončič, Barbara; Radetić, MajaThe utilization of disposable face masks is an essential approach to mitigate the transmission of microorganisms. Composed mainly of polypropylene (PP) nonwoven material, these masks do not exhibit any antimicrobial properties. This study examines the feasibility of employing Ag-based nanoparticles (NPs) as an antimicrobial agent. To activate the chemically inert PP samples, corona discharge was applied at atmo...
Plant-assisted synthesis of ag-based nanoparticles on cotton: Antimicrobial and...
Krkobabić, Ana; Radetić, Maja; Zille, Andrea; Ribeiro, Ana Isabel Ferreira; Tadić, Vanja; Ilic-Tomic, Tatjana; Marković, DarkaThe syntheses of Ag-based nanoparticles (NPs) with the assistance of plant extracts have been shown to be environmentally benign and cost-effective alternatives to conventional chemical syntheses. This study discusses the application of Paliurus spina-christi, Juglans regia, Humulus lupulus, and Sambucus nigra leaf extracts for in situ synthesis of Ag-based NPs on cotton fabric modified with citric acid. The pr...
