Selected VI-Element Based Glasses, Glass–Ceramics and Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Antibacterial/Bactericidal Activity
摘要
Exploring the non (low)-toxicToxic antibacterialAntibacterial/bactericidalBactericidal materialsMaterial which can prevent the growthGrowth of bacteriaBacteria/kill bacteriaBacteria is the subject of many recent works. GlassesGlasses and nanomaterialsNanomaterial are novel agentsAgent in this field and in bio-imagingBioimaging when employing the luminescent agentsLuminescent agents. In this chapter, some VI-element based materialsMaterial containing transition metalsTransition Metal (TM) (such as silverSilver or sliver-free telluro-vanadate glassesGlasses and glassGlasses ceramicsCeramics, bare and doped ZnSe nanoparticlesNanoparticles) are discussed to give more comprehension into their opto-biologicalBiological features and capabilities. Besides the synthesisSynthesis and fabrication methodsFabrication methods, structuralStructural and optical propertiesOptical properties such as the formation of desired phasesPhase, preciseOptical gap optical band gapOptical band gap and optical absorption edgeOptical absorption edge are presented and discussed. Furthermore, their detected antibacterialAntibacterial/bactericidal potentialBactericidal potential employing serial dilutionSerial dilution and/or agarDisc-diffusion disc-diffusionDiffusion bioassaysBioassay are presented and discussed. The results emphasized the high antibacterialAntibacterial/bactericidal potentialBactericidal potential of the 30%-sliver containing glassesGlasses and glassGlasses–ceramicsCeramics against the studied bacteriaBacteria from both GramGram-negativeGram negative and GramGram-positiveGram positive categories. Moreover, in the cases of zinc selenideZinc selenide nanoparticlesNanoparticles synthesized under various conditions, luminescenceLuminescence and antibacterialAntibacterial potentialPotential were evaluated as aspects dependent on dopantDopant content and particle sizeSize. Such mentioned materialsMaterial are promising agentsAgent in opticalOptical and biological applicationsBiological applications. This chapter discusses these subjects, and gives sheds light on their applicationsApplications in the bioBio-opticalOptical fields.
