Abstract

Process of formation and coarsening of sulfur nanoparticles deposited from aqueous solutions of calcium and sodium polysulfides and sodium thiosulfate and from solutions of elementary sulfur in a mixture of hydrazine hydrate and monoethanolamine was considered. The sulfur nanoparticles were characterized with a laser analyzer of particle sizes, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electron probe microscopy. It was shown that the sizes of primary particles strongly depend on the concentration of an acid and on the molar ratio between the sulfur-containing solutions and the acid. The antifungal effects of sulfur with nano- and micrometer dimensions were compared. The experimental results demonstrated a strong antifungal effect of sulfur nanoparticles on various kinds of fungi.
