UV-curable nano-silver containing polyurethane based organic–inorganic hybrid coatings

Fabrication and Characterization of Antibacterial Polyurethane Acrylate-based Materials

“…Accordance with the data, it is obvious that the photocured materials containing AgNPs have bacteria resistance, especially against E. coli and S. aureus. While antibacterial activity results were compared with other literatures, it was observed that the similar results were obtained effectively 3,6,15,16,21 .…”

“…The PVP protective mechanism of silver nanoparticles formation has been currently described by many researchers 16 . PVP is a homopolymer with a polyvinyl backbone and its repeating units contain a highly polar amide group that confers hydrophilic and polar-attracting properties, and also non-polar methylene groups both in the backbone and in the ring that confer hydrophobic properties.…”

“…Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized similar to the reported procedure in Toker et al 16 . and An et al 24 .…”

“…Nowadays, polymer modified with silver nanoparticles combinations were studied for a range of non-medical applications 12 , where their electrical conductivity 13 , light scattering and catalytic activity was demonstrated to be valuable 14,15 . The literature contains several works on synthesis of nano silver particle modified coating materials have been investigated 13,[16][17][18] . All synthesized materials result in generally well but materials usually complex, not straightforward and expensive than our method.…”

Utilization of Edible Films and Coatings as Packaging Materials for Preservation of Cheeses

“…The global market of nano-enabled packaging materials for food as well as the drink amounted to 4.13 billion US dollars in 2008 and was predicted to reach 7.3 billion by 2014 with an annual growth rate of 11.65% [83]. Several metal nanoparticles exhibit biocidal properties including Cu, Zn, Au, Ti, and Ag [84]. However, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) exhibit the most effective bactericidal properties against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms [73].…”
