PROSPECTS FOR CREATION ANTIBACTERIAL PREPARATIONS BASED ON COPPER NANOPARTICLES
Analysis of existing research shows promising use of bactericidal activity of copper nanoparticles due to their low cost and relatively low environmental hazard. However, unlike the silver nanoparticles, copper has a very low stability due to easy oxidation and therefore less studied. Thus, development of copper nanoparticle microbicides requires replenishment of experimental data of the antimicrobial activity.
