Abstract

A simple method to decorate multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with Ag nanoparticles by using dialdehyde starch (DAS) as complexant and reductant was developed. The Ag–DAS@MWCNTs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and used as antibacterial materials against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), Bacillus megaterium (B. megaterium), Micrococcus tetragenus (M. tetragenus). The Ag–DAS@MWCNTs exhibited superior antibacterial activities.
