✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A simple synthetic method has been developed for the fabrication of antimicrobial polyrhodanine nanotubes with silver nanoparticles. Rhodanine monomer first forms one‐dimensional complexes with silver ions due to coordinative interactions and consecutively reduces the silver ions during chemical‐oxidation polymerization. The polymerization procedure is analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy in situ. The synthesized silver nanoparticles/polyrhodanine nanotubes are applied as an antimicrobial agent against Gram‐negative bacteria, E. coli and Gram‐positive bacteria, S. aureus. The antimicrobial tests demonstrate that the silver/polyrhodanine nanotubes have superior antimicrobial properties to silver nanoparticles and rhodanine monomer.
