Type: Doctoral dissertation

A new approach for the synthesis of silver (Ag), platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) nanoparticles and their composites with hydroxyapatite (HAp) is developed via a sonochemical process. The major goal was to design physicochemical properties of material in order to achieve: (i) intensive antibacterial activity and (ii) maximal reduction of …
