Interfacially Interactive Ternary Silver-Supported Polyaniline/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites for Catalytic and Antibacterial Activity.

Herein, a protocol strategy has been designed for the preparation of ternary silver nanoparticles-supported polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotube (Ag NPs-PANI/MWCNT) nanocomposites with a chemical interaction for catalytic and antibacterial activity. The morphological study confirmed that Ag NPs were immobilized on the surface of PANI, and afterward, Ag NPs-PANI were mixed with the MWCNTs. The X-ray diffraction technique revealed the face-centered cubic structure of Ag NPs, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study revealed the chemical constituent and signature of π-π* and C-N interactions in the nanocomposites.

Ag Nanoparticles Connected to the Surface of TiO Electrostatically for Antibacterial Photoinactivation Studies.

Supported silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared by chemical reduction method with a sol-gel method. The structure, morphology, and interconnectivity of Ag/TiO nanocomposites (NCs) were analyzed using different instrumental techniques. Transmission electron microscopy reveals the Ag NPs have uniformly distributed and anchored on the surface of TiO .
