ИСТИНА

Currently, a number of attempts have been made to develop novel, efficient and environment-friendly antibacterial materials. A wide variety of antibacterial materials have been reported to prevent attachment and proliferation of microbes. However people have often come across the fact that antibiotics do not help during the treatment of many infectious diseases. Their use is limited due to problems of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Nanostructures containing silver, copper, zinc, iron oxides, and their combinations are well known for killing even antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is why they are widely applied for making materials with antibacterial properties. The use of templates helps to overcome the aggregation of particles and their release to the environment. Halloysite has great potential as a carrier for metal particles grafting and metal complexes formation.
