Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of GO/Cu₂O/ZnO Coating on Ultrafine Glass Fiber.

ABSTRACT: A GO (graphene oxide)/ZnO/Cu₂O antibacterial coating was successfully sprayed on the ultrafine glass fibers using room temperature hydrothermal synthesis and air spraying techniques. The microstructures of the antibacterial coating were characterized, and the results showed that the Cu₂ONPs (nano particles)/ZnONPs were uniformly dispersed on the surface of GO. Then, the antibacterial properties of the GO/ZnO/Cu₂O (GZC) antibacterial coating were evaluated using the disc diffusion test. It was found that the coating exhibits excellent antibacterial properties and stability against E. coli and S. aureus, and the antibacterial rate of each group of antibacterial powder against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. c
