Abstract
Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were loaded onto the surface of phenol formaldehyde resin (PFR) NPs without any reducing agent. The as-synthesized PFR@Ag composites have low cytotoxicity, which makes them promising antibacterial agents. Furthermore, the good fluorescence of PFR could be used for cell imaging.
Keywords:
PFR@Ag composite materials; antibacterial activity; cell imaging; luminescence; nanocomposites.
