Antibacterial and Catalytic Properties of Stable Metal Nanoparticles in Reverse Micelles

Abstract

Ag and Cu nanoparticles stable in the presence of air were obtained by the reduction of metal iones with biological active compound (quercetin) from the group of flavonoids in reverse micelles in the system water/AOT/alkane. Nanoparticle formation was detected by the characteristic changes of optical absorption spectra of quercetin/AOT/alkane solution after addition of AgNO3or Cu(NH3)4SO4. The features of nanoparticle adsorption on solid supports were described. Biological activity of materials modified by Ag nanoparticules and catalytic properties of Cu nanoparticles in reactions of halogen hydrocarbons were studied.
