Synthesis and structure of copper nanoparticles and their antiinfection properties

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles localized on the surface of cotton fabric are synthesized. The structure and composition of the particles are determined by EXAFS, TEM, EPR, and XRF. The nanoparticles obtained are suggested to have a core shell structure. The study shows that copper is distributed in the fabric in the form of nanoparticles associated with fragments of macromolecules, on one hand, and in the form of nanoparticle conglomerates on the surfaces of the filaments of fibers, on the other hand. Modification of natural fabrics by copper nanoparticles results in complete destruction of Epidermophyton colonies and suppresses growth of Candida colonies, which makes it possible to apply such fabric in treatment of fungal diseases and in antiseptic treatment and healing of septic wounds.
