ZnO RADIAL MORPHOLOGIES WITH HIGH ANTI-BIOFILM AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OBTAINED BY A POLYMER-ASSISTED HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS

摘要

A one-pot approach for the synthesis of ZnO radial hierarchical architectures was developed. The synergy between methylcellulose, urea and triethanolamine is the key parameter of the synthetic methodology. The synthesized material presents good anti-biofilm and antimicrobial activity.
