silver-polyaniline (ag-pani) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (aot) solution as an emulsifier. the synthesis of silver-polyaniline nanocomposites was investigated as a function of several parameters such as aniline concentration, concentration of emulsifier (aot), concentration of oxidation agent and c...

Fabric quality and durability are a concern with fibers that contain natural antibacterial properties or are treated to provide antibacterial properties. The textile industry has developed antibacterial fabric to address the public’s desire for improved sanitation and personal protection against disease transmission. The approach has been to attach biocidal or some bacteriostatic groups to the ...

introduction: the ultimate goal of endodontic treatment is to eliminate the bacterial infection in the root canal system. while mechanical debridement combined with chemical irrigation removes the bulk of microorganisms, residual bacteria are readily detectable in approximately one-half of teeth just prior to obturation. laser light can be used to destroy bacteria. this in vitro study was perfo...

background aeromonas hydrophila cause one of the most important diseases in fishes and lead to economic losses, and may be contaminated human beings. objectives the current research aimed to investigate the anti-bacterial activity shown by the extracts prepared from different parts of olea europea, myrtus communis, thymus vulgaris, rosmarinuis officinalis, and achillea falcata that grow in syri...

background and objectives: resistance towards reveling antibiotics has captured great interest in evaluating the antimicrobial properties of the natural plants. taraxacum mongolicum is widely used as a folklore medicinal plant for its diuretic, antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties. though there are some reports on antimicrobial properties of taraxacum mongolicum, studies on antibacter...

Antibacterial agents are very important in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine, and food packaging. Organic compounds used for disinfection have some disadvantages, including toxicity to the human body, therefore, the interest in inorganic disinfectants such as metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing. This review focuses on the properties and applications of inorganic nanos...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of antibacterial properties of nanosilver solution during a period of 9 months against streptococcus mutans, staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa. materials and methods in this in vitro study, the antibacterial effect of serial concentrations of nanosilver solution and amoxicillin antibiotic as control group on the stand...
