Core-shell Ag-coated zeolite composite powders were synthesized using silver electroless deposition process, which was carried out in an ammonia-based coating solution containing silver nitrate as a precursor material. The influence of the chemical components and powder concentration in the Ag coating was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The zeolite/Ag composite powders were fabricated in order to find an antibacterial material and a new implant material based on the microstructural change of zeolite/Ag composites powders using different parameters of Ag deposition.
