| description | Here, we aimed to boost antibacterial performance of cellulose fibers for paper sheet application. Therefore, TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles have been used with controlled loading onto the surface of the fibers. A simple and facile composite preparation route based on ultrasound and mechanical assisted stirring has been developed. We tested cellulose paper enriched by TiO<sub>2</sub> from 1.0 wt% to 8.0 wt%, respectively. Antibacterial performance has been studied against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> bacteria. Studies showed that all composites exhibit significant capability to reduce living cells of <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>E. coli</i> bacteria at least 60%. The simplicity, low cost, and reproducibility of the prepared method indicates the potential to be scaled up for industrial applications. |
