Abstract:Organic–inorganic composite antibacterial materials based on AgPc/Ag and aminosilane-modified silicate (Ormosil) were prepared by sol-gel processes and an in situ reduction method. The physical and chemical properties of AgPc, Pc-Ormosil and AgPc-Ormosil/Ag composites were analyzed by SEM, XRD, NMR and XPS spectroscopy. As a result, Ag nanoparticles were bonded and chelated in Pc-Ormosil matrix. The morphology analysis of SEM showed that the AgNPs in the Pc-Ormosil matrix were spherical and uniformly distribut… Show more
