NANOMATERIALS-BASED SURFACE MODIFICATON FOR ANTIBACTERIAL APPLICATION

Abstract

The general objective of this project is having the nanomaterial surface modification and their antibacterial properties and applications. For this reason, selected copper oxide (CuO) nanomaterial for synthetization with the sol-gel method, hydrothermal method and direct thermal decomposition method. The synthesis method has a big influence on the characteristics of these nanoparticles, and those qualities have a big influence on their biological uses. After synthesis, the products have been coating on the metal implants for surface modification of the material. Most of the researcher have interested on CuO coated over the titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg)implants or material surface for modification. Stainless steel would have been chosen for coating the synthesized copper oxide (CuO) for surface modification. Then after, have to check the anti-bacterial features of material. Gram +ve bacteria psoriasis, would have used to assessment the antibacterial activity of the surfaces of stainless steel. After the antibacterial efficiency check the next procedure would be check the characterizations and their properties. Understanding and controlling nanoparticle manufacturing and applications need CuO characterization. Different procedures are employed to determine certain parameters. Keeping in view of the above literature survey, report on synthesis, coating and characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles using several techniques. It also discusses their potential as novel antibacterial activity and adhesion test.
