Abstract:

Subject of study. Zinc oxide nanoparticle coatings. Aim of study. Development of effective technology for obtaining antibacterial coatings using the method of laser-induced forward transfer depending on the parameters of laser radiation and the scanning system. Method. The laser-induced backward transfer method is used to obtain the required pattern. Optical, scanning electron and probe microscopy are used to characterize the coating topography. Nanoparticle sizes are analyzed using dynamic light scattering. Main results. Depending on the transfer mode, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings consisting of zinc oxide nanoparticles ranging in size from 16 to 458 nm are revealed. Antibacterial properties of the coatings against the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa are established. A study of bacterial viability using the LIVE/DEAD® BacLight staining kit confirmed the results of microbiological cultures. Practical significance. Zinc oxide nanoparticle-based coatings may serve as a basis for the development of antibacterial agents against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms.

Keywords:
