摘要:
Methods for producing economical antimicrobial and antifungal nanoparticle composites are presented. The method includes converting chitosan or derivative thereof to nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation process and the nanoparticle composite in the presence of a process solution without any separation process to isolate the nanoparticles prior to application. The composition containing chitosan nanoparticles, ionotropic gelation agent, a nonionic surfactant, and an active halogen provides improved disinfectant and fungicidal properties against bacterial, viral and fungal contaminants along with prolonged residual effects. Methods and systems for decontamination, wound healing and plant growth enhancements are also presented.
