Ag–CuFe2O4 magnetic hollow fibers for recyclable antibacterial materials

Abstract

Copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) magnetic hollow fibers were prepared by applying an organic sol-thermal decomposition method, and silver nanoparticles were subsequently loaded on the fibers by calcination. The Ag–CuFe2O4 fibers exhibited excellent antibacterial efficacy against four different bacteria (E. coli, S. typhi, S. aureus and V. parahaemolyticus) with consistent results. Typical ferromagnetism behavior exhibited from the Ag–CuFe2O4 fibers enables their feasible recyclability.
