| Description |
The chance finding of aqueous ferrofluids (FF) as antibacterial leaves one
wondering whether it is the metallic part which has anti-bacterial properties or is it
the nano size and structure which is responsible. Compared to silver, the known
antimicrobial agent, there could be potential advantages that iron has to offer. In
order to study the effects of ferrofluids containing iron oxide nanoparticles coated
with surfactant such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), synthesized by a novel biomimetic
process via matrix mediated process at different concentrations. These ferrofluids
were tested against bacteria, fungus and algae. FF was characterized by MFM,
TEM and DLS.
