Abstract

In order to increase antibacterial abilities and avoid the aggregation of nanoparticle, Ag-ZnO nanocomposites were studied in the network structure which contains bonds, and these bonds are formed by hydrolysis reaction between Ti(TBOU)4(TBOT) and the water that in Persimmon tannin solution. The size and morphology of Ag-ZnO nanocomposites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM). The antibacterial properties of nanocomposites were examined by minimal bactericidal concentration(MBC). Results showed that this kind of antibacterial nanocomposites composites(ANPs) have excellent antibacterial abilities and without aggregation.
