| description | Microorganism contamination of food storage, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and especially biomedical equipment is a severe problem. Bacteria frequently contaminate permanent implantations after long-term usage. To successfully treat these infections, it is essential to monitor microbial activity and know how it interacts with antibodies in real-time. In this work, a nanocarbon-polymer nanocomposite (ARPD) is successfully developed, and its antibacterial activity against selected microorganisms is successfully validated. Obtained antibacterial results confirm that the photoluminescent ARPD demonstrated outstanding antibacterial action against the microorganism Escherichia coli from the selected group of bacteria. The fluorescent diagnostics and treatments offer exciting possibilities for the luminescence and biocidal activity of nanocomposite produced from ARH-PVDF nanomaterials. |
