Synthesis and characterization of hybrid materials with embedded silver nanoparticles and their application as antimicrobial matrices for waste water purification

- Novel PVA/APTEOS materials with embedded silver nanoparticles were prepared via sol-gel method.
- The fungicidal activity of PVA/APTEOS/AgNps against control and clinical strains was tested.
- The efficacy for removing Mn2+ ions from the medium by strain Trichosporon cutaneum R57 immobilized onto matrices was studied.
