Antimicrobial action and chemical and physical properties of CuO-doped engineered cementitious composites
Abstract CuO nanoparticles (NPs) were added to cement matrices in quantities of 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 wt% to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) bacteria. It was shown that CuO NPs, in all tested conc...
