title: A study on the antibacterial activity of one-dimensional ZnO nanowire arrays: effects of the orientation and plane surface.
abstract: In this study, ZnO nanowire arrays with different orientations were prepared. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) technique were employed for understanding the disparities in antibacterial activity between different orientations of ZnO nanoarrays. The effects of the different planes of ZnO nanowire were also discussed for the first time.
