In this study, ZnFe2O4
magnetic nanoparticlesandZnFe2O4/Ag-TiO2
nanocomposite were synthesized solvothermally. The prepared
materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron
microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Vibrating sample
magnetometer. In addition, the antibacterial performance of materials was
evaluated against Gram-positive
bacteria (Staphyloccocus aureus) and Gram-negative
bacteria (Escherichia coli). ZnFe2O4/Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite was shown stronger
antibacterial efficiency against Gram-positive bacteria Staphyloccocus aureus than Escherichia
coli. Also, the inhibition diameter of 15±0.2 mm for ZnFe2O4/Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite was
measured since the antibacterial activity increased by nanocomposite formation.
