Copper-Containing Cellulose Material

Resumo

Biocidal cotton material with copper nanoparticles was prepared by treating cloth surface with copper hydroxide in ammonia solution and by coagulation of surface gel and evening of the fiber surface followed by reduction of copper complexes to the atoms and nanoparticles. The experimental structures were characterized by scanning microscopy; energy-dispersive analysis; visible, IR, and Raman spectroscopy; and biocidal studies.
