Abstract

Here, we demonstrate multifunctional activity of a polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite sponge for microbial mitigation and oil contaminant removal from water. Different concentrations of silver (Ag) nanoparticles have been studied for their anti-microbial activity along with activated Carbon (AC). Further, AC and Ag nanoparticles were incorporated inside the PDMS sponge using a unique non-aqueous in-situ reduction synthesis method to generate a nanocomposite sponge thus, rendering a hierarchical (i.e. micropores decorated with nanoparticles) texture on the sponge. The as-grown sponges were tested for their physico-chemical characteristics along with features including anti-microbial activity as well as absorption of floating-oil contaminants from water.
