“…Es utilizado en varios dispositivos médicos como guantes y catéteres, además, ha sido usado en el tratamiento de cicatrización y curación de heridas como las ulceras, injertos y regeneración (Borges et al, 2017;Sethulekshmi et al, 2022). También, con el fin de ser usado en el ámbito biomédico, se ha modificado el látex con diferentes nanopartículas como la plata y el óxido de zinc y se ha probado su actividad antibacteriana (Dick & Santos, 2017;Kinoshita et al, 2019;T.

“…Simultaneously, ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated excellent antimicrobial activity at low concentrations. Li et al [ 14 ] prepared Ag particles loaded on the surface of graphene oxide (GO). When the GO content was only 0.1 phr, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) were 16 and 32 μg/mL, respectively.…”

Natural rubber (NR) latex foam is one of the rubber products that are increasingly in demand in the market. This is simply because of its lightweight, good thermal insulation, and resilience. The applications of NR latex foam are mostly for pillows and mattresses. This has resulted in these products requiring antibacterial performance which is very important for the safety of the end-users. In this study, the antibacterial NR latex foam was prepared by incorporating the silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-doped ZnO) into the NR latex foam. Ag-doped ZnO was prepared by microwave-assisted method and then characterized through morphological characteristics and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The content of Ag doped onto ZnO was designed by varying the AgNO3 content at 15 wt%, 50 wt%, and 100 wt% of ZnO. The results confirmed that the Ag was successfully doped onto ZnO. The silver particles were found to be in the 40–50 nm range, where the size of ZnO ranges between 300 and 400 nm, and the Ag attached to the ZnO particles. The XRD patterns of Ag-doped ZnO correspond to planes of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure and cubic metallic Ag. This Ag-doped ZnO was further added to NR latex foam. It was observed that Ag-doped ZnO did not affect the physical properties of the NR latex foam. However, it is clear that both the inhibition zone and percent reduction of bacteria (e.g., E. coli and S. aureus) were enhanced by the addition of Ag-doped ZnO. It showed a decrease in the amount of cell growth over contact time. The content of 100 wt% AgNO3 could reduce E. coli and S. aureus up to 64.72% and 58.90%, respectively, when samples were maintained for 24 h. This study provides a scientific understanding of how Ag-doped ZnO could facilitate the development of eventual rubber foam products based on the respective results.
