Antibacterial studies and statistical design set data of quasi zinc oxide nanostructures

Abstract

The analytical techniques employed for the ZnO nanostructures, which showed potential effect on bacteria's (E. coli, S. aureus and K. pneumoniae) growth. The recorded spectra obtained at 600 nm by UV-vis spectrophotometry.

Antibacterial properties of Ag/TiO2/PDA nanofilm on anodized 316L stainless steel substrate under illumination by a normal flashlight

“…The Ag NP has shown good antibacterial properties as it contacts with microorganisms through crossing cell membranes and disrupting bacterial proteins [13][14][15][16]. The application based on the antibacterial mechanisms of Ag NP is limited due to the use of large amount of precious metal and the accompanying leaching.…”

“…Presently, the antibacterial mechanism of 316L SS is mainly based on the dissolution of Ag, Cu, or Zn ions [9][10][11][12], which is limited by several factors such as the safe range of ion concentration, competition between rates of ion dissolution and bacterial proliferation and the antibacterial period [13][14][15][16]. Photocatalysis is a highly efficient and inexpensive technique to inhibit and kill the bacteria [17][18][19][20].…”

Superior adsorption performance for triphenylmethane dyes on 3D architectures assembled by ZnO nanosheets as thin as ∼1.5 nm

“…A wide range of applications have been demonstrated for one/two-dimensional ZnO nanostructures such as, solar cells [13], photodetectors [14], field-effect transistors [15], gas sensors [16,17], UV lasers [18], piezoelectric generators [19], photocatalysts [20,21], light emitting diodes [22], plasmas [23] and antibacterial materials [24]. However, investigations on adsorption of ZnO for dyes are quite rare.…”

Assessment of photocatalytic potentiality and determination of ecotoxicity (using plant model for better environmental applicability) of synthesized copper, copper oxide and copper-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles

“…Among the metal oxide NPs, ZnO-nanostructures exhibit wide morphological diversities like simple ball shape, micro-nano filapodia, tetrapod, needle-topped nanorosette, among others [ 2 , 8 – 9 ]. Applicational potentiality of such nanoscale structural complexes is significantly assessed based on their photocatalytic [ 10 – 14 ] and UV photodetection and gas sensing [ 15 ] ability, antimicrobial [ 16 – 19 ] and anti-cancerous [ 20 – 22 ] potentiality and also for virostatic [ 23 ] as well as immune-protective [ 24 ] activities among others [ 25 ].…”
