Enhancement of antibacterial properties of Ag nanorods by electric field

The effect of an electric field on the antibacterial activity of columnar aligned silver nanorods was investigated. Silver nanorods with a polygonal cross section, a width of 20–60 nm and a length of 260–550 nm, were grown on a titanium interlayer by applying an electric field perpendicular to the s...
