Abstract:In the last years N-doped carbon nanoparticles have been shown to have improved antibacterial activity over the undoped nanomaterial, but it is difficult to find correlations between the structure of the nanoparticle and its antibacterial activity. This prevents us from proposing a clear antibacterial mechanism and makes it difficult to select materials with the best physical and chemical properties for use as antibacterial agents. With this purpose, here, we analyze the effect of, the size and the surface che… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
