Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are of particular interest as antimicrobial agents in water and
wastewater treatment due to their broad suppressive range against bacteria, viruses, and …

The investigation of novel nanoparticles with antimicrobial activity has grown in recent years
due to the increased incidence of nosocomial infections occurring during hospitalization and …

Silver nanoparticles have been intensively studied over a long period of time because they
exhibit antibacterial properties in infection treatments, wound healing, or drug delivery …

One major problem with the overuse of antibiotics is that the microorganisms acquire
resistance; thus the dose must be increased unsustainably. To overcome this problem …

In this work, we propose zinc oxide (ZnO) surface functionalization with plasmonic silver
nanoparticles (AgNP) of different sizes and shapes (spheres, prisms, and rods) creating …

An antimicrobial polymeric bilayer structure based on the application of an acrylic coating
containing hollow zinc oxide nanotubes over a polymeric substrate was developed in this …

The synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts presents an innovative alternative to
traditional chemical or physical methods. Natural nanoparticle synthesis using plant extracts …

The aqueous extract of Ulva lactuca, obtained from algae waste, has been used both as
precursor for nanobiochar and source of phycocolloids, for obtaining of ZnO@ C composites …

Photocatalytic use of the neat graphitic carbon nitride, gC 3 N 4, is usually restricted by
unsatisfactory efficiency due to low solar light absorption and rapid recombination of …

Abstract Two new Ag–AgCl/CaCO 3 composite materials, with different molar ratios Ag:
CaCO 3, were obtained in a green seaweed (Ulva lactuca) extract by a two steps synthesis …
