The Efficiency of PVA Based Nanofiber Textile PVA Doped Silver Particles against Mold

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mold and algae are primitive organisms that cause biological degradation of many type of construction materials. Subsequent remediation of damaged structures is very demanding and it is therefore necessary to take into consideration the high preventive protection against these microorganisms. In practice, as the prevention it is often use chemical products as a classical biocidal compounds. One of the modern methods of protection investigate the use of nanotechnology with biocidal ingredients, which is the main topic of this article. Silver ions and silver nanoparticles were selected as a biocide for the experiment. Research revealed that the silver in the form of nanoparticles and ions have biocidal effect against fungi and algae and it is conform to use theoretically possible them as a preventive protection against mold and algae.
