Antibacterial Efficacy of Silver or Arsenic Doped Polymer Composites Against Several Kinds of Bacteria
Structure and several properties of AgNO3 and As2O3 doped polymer composites have been investigated, including their antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans and S. epidermidis. New silver or arsenic doped polymer composites have been characterized by an X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscopy combined with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and ion release studies.
