Overview
abstract
Silver nanoparticles synthesized on titanium dioxide (Ag/TiO2), an effective antibacterial additive, were added to a commercial paint and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated. Microbiological tests against Escherichia coli and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were performed under high relative humidity (RH>90%25) and low (RH≈14%25). A remarkable difference in cell recovery under high and low humidity was found. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
