Chitosan (CTS) and Ag-loading nano-SiO2 (SLS) are excellent antibacterial materials. However, when used alone, these monocomponent antibacterial agents are sometimes far from meeting requirements in special conditions. In this study, crosslinked chitosan-coated Ag-loading nano-SiO2 composites (CCTS-SLS) were synthesized by adsorption crosslinking reaction. Then Escherichia coil (ATCC 8099) was taken as the experimental bacteria for antibacterial tests. The experimental results indicate that the mass ratio of SLS to chitosan had the greatest influences on the value of MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) for CCTS-SLS composite. However, the heating temperature had a weak influence on the antibacterial performance of CCTS-SLS composite.
