Abstract

In the joint chemical reduction of silver and copper ions in the presence of gelatin, regardless of the composition of the reaction medium, a nanocomposite was formed consisting of nanodispersed silver and copper particles. In this research, the dependence of phase composition and dispersity on the synthesis conditions, as well as antibacterial activity of synthesized silver and copper nanocomposites were studied. It has been established that the most highly dispersed silver and copper nanocomposites were formed in an alkaline medium. We have revealed that nanocomposites of Ag-Cu system which were synthesized in an alkaline medium possessed significant antibacterial activity against the Erwinia amylovora and Pseudomonas syringae bacteria.
