Study of the self-cleaning effect of silver nanoparticles and silver / zinc oxide on the basis of graphene

Recently, some nanoparticles, such as silver, have attracted increasing attention due to antimicrobial activity. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of silver and silver/ zinc oxide nanoparticles was studied in graphene-based synthesized self-cleaning coatings Antibacterial properties of the synthesized coatings were investigated inweight percentages (5%, 3%, 2%) of silver nanoparticles / graphene and silver - zinc oxide / graphene. By performing bacterial tests, nanoparticles of silver and silver-zincoxide were synthesized in all of the weight percentages of all bacteria present in the environment, but the zinc oxidizing properties of zinc were only lower than those ofnanoparticles, By reducing the weight of zinc oxide in the environment its bactericidal property also decreases
