Nanocomposites with antimicrobial properties synthesized by photoreduction of silver ions on the surface of differently shaped titanium(IV)-oxide nanocrystals deposited on textile materials.

Doktorska disertacija je imala za cilj sintezu i karakterizaciju nanokompozita koji poseduju antimikrobna svojstva inovativnom metodom in situ fotoredukcije Ag+-jona na površini nanokristala TiO2 različitih oblika, prethodno deponovanih na tekstilnim materijalima. Ovakav pristup sintezi nanokompozitnih tekstilnih materijala je po prvi put realizovan u okviru ove teze...This doctoral thesis relates to the synthesis and characterization of advanced nanocomposites which exhibit antimicrobial activity and UV protective properties. For the synthesis an innovative method based on in situ photoreduction of Ag+-ions onto the surface of differently shaped TiO2 nanocrystals, being in the form of either spherical nanoparticles or nanotubes, deposited on different textile materials was applied. Such synthesis route for the formation of textile nanocomposites has been realized for the first time in the context of this thesis..
