Metal Nanoparticles in Pharma

Abstract

Effect on antimicrobial activity observed for several types of hybrid materials is described in our chapter. The substrates for functional antimicrobial particles are natural clay minerals and carbon materials for this review limited to graphite/graphene and carbon nanoparticles (nanotubes and fullerenes). Short description of substrate materials and their properties is followed by discussion of the effect of selected most popular antimicrobial metals (silver, copper) and several oxides (zinc, titanium and copper oxides) and it is conferred for Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains. The methods for preparation of such particles may vary but the most used are intercalation and decoration methods from solution for the clay minerals. Nanoparticles (NPs) of metals and metal oxides on carbon and nanocarbon materials are prepared using physico-chemical approach. The research confirmed that the shape and size of functional NPs can depend on used substrate, preparation conditions and used method. Interestingly, it was found that Ag-clay sample was as effective as the free Ag+ions. Generally, it was found the size of active surface area, mobility and availability of potential active particles (ions or nanoparticles) and chemical state of them plays an important role in antimicrobial activity.
