Silver-perfluorodecanethiolate complexes having superhydrophobic, antifouling, antibacterial properties.
Silver-perfluorodecanethiolate complexes having superhydrophobic, antifouling, antibacterial properties were prepared by a reaction of silver nitrate with perfluorodecanethiol. When the silver nitrate to perfluorodecanethiol molar ratio was 1/2, silver-perfluorodecanethiolate complexes having hierarchical micro-/nano-sized wire shapes were obtained, and they showed superhydrophobic and antifouling properties. After UV irradiation, silver nanoparticles were generated on the wires and exhibited antibacterial properties.
