| Abstract [eng] |
The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been proposed as a novel strategy for combating bacterial and viral strains with high resistance. AgNPs, which are well-known nanoparticles, have been widely utilized in the identification, treatment, and neutralization of viral infections [1]. For particles with at least two dimensions under 100 nm, it is crucial to examine their acceptable toxicity. Silver nanoparticles have recently garnered significant attention as potential antibacterial agents among nanoparticles [2]. This has resulted in silver-based biocides becoming increasingly prevalent. The synthesis of AgNPs can be achieved through a variety of methods, including physical, chemical, and biological approaches. In this work, a UV-mediated photochemical synthesis method was employed to prepare coatings on quartz glass substrates using the doctor blade coating technique. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) was utilized as the precursor, and the solution of AgNO3 was incorporated into a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) matrix. The experiments were conducted under ambient temperature and pressure conditions using a dual-wavelength UV-Vis source (Desaga Heidelberg 220V, 75W) with wavelengths of 254 nm (1.64 mW/cm2 intensity) and 366 nm (0.80 mW/cm2 intensity). The structural properties of the coatings were characterized using various techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-Vis’s spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and water contact angle (WCA) measurements.
