Preparation of lotus-leaf-like antibacterial film based on mesoporous silica microcapsule-supported Ag nanoparticles

A novel lotus-leaf-like antibacterial film was fabricated by loading the mesoporous silica microcapsule-supported Ag nanoparticles on the fluoro-silicone resin film followed by the hydrophobic surface modification. Such unique structured film existed excellent antibacterial activity due to the joint action of the super-hydrophobic property and the sustained-release of Ag+ ions.
