Algicidal properties nanofibrous fabrics doped by metals
Ryparová, Pavla ; Wasserbauer, R. ; Rácová, Z. ; Demo, Pavel ; Tesárek, Pavel
The paper presents a novel protection against algae by nanofiber fabrics doped with metal ions. Nanofiber textiles were prepared by electrospinning on the Nanospider LB 500 device, equipped with cylindrical electrodes of a length 600 mm and electrode distance about 140 mm. The produced nanofiber textiles had a specific weight between 2 and 4 g/m2. The entire surface was covered with algae commonly accompanied by bacteria. The sample had placed in the middle of circular dishes having the diameter 20 mm. The cultivation took place at light environment in common laboratory conditions. Algicidal effect was evaluated as the resulting halo size and quality around the sample. The PVA treated sample had not produce any halo effect, unlike the samples with the addition of metal salts (AgNO3, CuSO4 center dot 5H(2)O) that exhibited the halo effect dependent on the concentration the salts, usually ranging from 0.3-2 mm, giving the evidence about their algicidal properties.\n
