Synthesis and Characterization of Ag Nanoparticle, Ag-TiO2 Nanoparticle and Ag-TiO2-Chitosan Complex and Their Application to Antibiosis and Deodorization
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Abstract
Ag nanoparticles have been prepared by thermal decomposition of Ag-oleate complex using electric furnace at 300 °C for about 4 hrs. TEM images of the particles showed 2-dimensional assembly of particles with diameter of 8.0 ± 1.3 nm, demonstrating the uniformity of these nanoparticles. Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel process and they had core-shell structure. Results showed the formation of the silver core and titanium oxide shell. In this study, we investigated the structure of Ag nanoparticle and Ag-TiO2 nanoparticle and Ag-TiO2-chitosan complex and their functions of antibiosis and deodorization.
