Abstract
Consisting of organically-modified silica entrapping silver nanoparticles originally derived from methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) only, the SilverSil sol–gel coating shows significant antimicrobial activity (in vitro). Now, we report the outcomes of investigation aimed at developing SilverSil coatings to functionalize textiles. We investigate the use of 3-(aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS) to stabilize the SilverSil nanosol precursor and increase the Ag nanoparticle encapsulation efficiency. We further study the effect of selected parameters of the sol–gel polycondensation process in sight of practical application of SilverSil as a low-cost antibacterial coating of broad scope and limited antimicrobial resistance.
