Antibacterial Thin Films on Glass Substrate by Sol–Gel Process

Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Antibacterial transparent thin films, containing different amounts of silver ion, have been prepared on a glass substrate by the sol–gel process. Thin films were obtained from inorganic-organic hybrid sols derived from 3-(glicydiloxypropyl)trimethoxy silane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane and aluminium-sec-butoxide/ethylaceto-acetate complex and doped with silver ions. The films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy. The physical properties of the films were studied by solar-box, taber abraser, hardness test pencil, scratch-adhesion test and spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of the coatings were investigated against gram negative Escherichia coli and gram positive Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that 1% doping of the transparent hybrid thin film with silver ions resulted in high antibacterial properties of the film.
