Abstract
Antimicrobial and antifungal materials we prepared from Zn-containing wollastonite set by wet precipitation method. Wollastonite, hardystonite, willemite and very little quartz were developed after sintering at 1100 °C/2 h, however, the Raman spectroscopy approved the later phases by their characteristic Raman shift bands. The microstructure exhibited accumulated rounded to irregular clusters containing nano-size particles (< 500 nm) developed in all sintered samples. Zeta potential; exposed negative values for all powdered samples from -2.64 to -17.6 mV (i.e., for Zn-free to highest Zn-containing samples). It can be easily noticed that the lowest ZnO-content exhibits a varied range of antibacterial activities in contrast to Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus & B. subtilis). Correspondingly, the CZS5 exhibits good inhibitory effect against the filamentous pathogenic fungus (A. niger).
Highlights
Wollastonite powder containing ZnO was prepared by wet method.
Wollastonite, hardystonite, willemite and little quartz were developed in sintered at 1100 °C/2 h.
The powder has wide effect on the A.niger fungi in the high ZnO-containing powder.
The powder can also inhabit the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
