1.10 Factors Affecting the Antibacterial Activity of NMs
ОглавлениеAs discussed earlier, the activity of any NM system depends on its physicochemical properties such as size, shape, zeta potential, crystal structure, charge, and other factors. The physicochemical factors' influence on the surface area, surface energy, and atomic ligand deficiency dictates the behavior of NMs, which in turn affects the activity of NMs. Hence it is very important to study the effect of these factors on the activity of the NMs. Schematic of the factors influencing the antimicrobial activity of the NMs is given the Figure 1.5 as detailed by Daima and Bansal (2015).
