Abstract

The antibacterial effect of metal nanoparticles (MNP) has been used in a variety of commercially available products and devices for many years. Because of the knowledge acquired within the last decade in the field of nanotechnology, the use of MNPs has been thoroughly investigated. In this concept, the development of nanocomposite materials with antimicrobial activity is important for human health. It has been reported that MNP properties alone do not determine the common features of polymer - metal nanocomposites. The polymer matrix can function as the MNP stabilising media, which stops MNP aggregation and release to the surrounding environment. As an innovative class of materials, polymer-metal nanocomposites have shown many advantages over conventional antimicrobial materials, ensuring there is no negative effect for human health and the environmental. © 2020 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
