Antibacterial and Cytotoxicity Effects of TiO2-Grafted Cellulose Nanocomposite
Authors
Abstract:
TiO2-grafted cellulose bio-nanocomposite (Cell.Com) was successfully prepared by combining modified cellulose and TiO2 nanoparticles via copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide click reaction. The antibacterial and cytotoxicity effects of Cell.Com containing cellulose, triazole ring and TiO2 moieties are reported in this work. The antibacterial activity of Cell.Com was investigated against gram positive (S. aureus and B. subtilis) and gram negative (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) bacteria. The antibacterial results indicate that the Cell.Com exhibits a wide range of antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria which is due to the presence of TiO2 and triazole ring moieties in its structure. In addition, the cytotoxicity effect of Cell.Com was studied in vitro on cervical cancer (HeLa), breast carcinoma (MCF-7), sarcoma osteogenic (Saos) and fibroblast cells by MTT assay. The cell viability results show that the Cell. Com diminishes relatively cancer cells growth in a dosage and time dependent way probably through triazole moiety, while no apparentcytotoxicity effect is observed on the normal fibroblast cells.

Synthesis of SiC/Ag/Cellulose Nanocomposite and Its Antibacterial Activity by Reactive Oxygen Species Generation
We describe the synthesis of nanocomposites, based on nanofibers of silicon carbide, silver nanoparticles, and cellulose. Silver nanoparticle synthesis was achieved with chemical reduction using hydrazine by adding two different surfactants to obtain a nanocomposite with silver nanoparticles of different diameters. Determination of antibacterial activity was based on respiration tests. Enzymati...

A novel method was used to synthesize a nanosilver-doped multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT-Ag), and subsequently, the novel poly(lactic acid) (PLA)and MWCNT-Ag-based biocompatible and antimicrobial nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. Based on energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry images, an MWCNT-Ag was successfully synthesized. The effect of the MWCNT-Ag on the PLA bionanocomposites w...

Mixed-phase TiO2 nanocomposite thin films consisting of anatase and rutile prepared on commercially pure Ti sheets via the electrochemical anodization and annealing treatments were investigated in terms of their photocatalytic activity for antibacterial use around dental implants. The resulting films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The topo...

We have characterized the structure and luminescence properties for two-component material composed of nanocrystalline cellulose and nanocrystalline (less to 100 nm) silicon powder. An efficient and stable photoluminescence of nanocomposite, resistant to the influence of gas-phase oxidants, has been found. The obtained material has electret-like properties and demonstrates the possibility of mu...
