Abstract
Silver nanoparticles synthesized on titanium dioxide (Ag/TiO2), an effective antibacterial additive, were added to a commercial paint and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated. Microbiological tests against Escherichia coli and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were performed under high relative humidity (RH>90%) and low (RHâ14%). A remarkable difference in cell recovery under high and low humidity was found.
