- Abstract
Antimicrobial silica hybrid materials, based on tetraethyl orthosilicate, cellulose derivates (hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) and silver have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The content of cellulose ethers was 5 mass % and the silver concentration varied from 0.5 to 2.5 mass %. The antifungal effect was quantified against Asperillus niger based on the inhibition zone measurement in the diffusion test and by determination of growth inhibitory effect of the synthesized hybrid materials. The results showed that the hybrid materials have a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect against used molds and therefore could find potential application in biotechnology and biomedical science.
