The anodized aluminum with depositedsilver was tested for its antibacterial performance. The results showthat the antibacterial rates of the specimens are above 95/100against the growth of E. coli, P. Aeruginasa, S. faecalis and S.aureus. The morphology of the silver in pores of anodized aluminum ischaracterized by transmission electron microscopy, and themicrographs indicate that silver is assembled in the form ofnanowires with a diameter of 10 nm or 25 nm. The nanowires have astructure of parallel bright stripes alternating with parallel darkstripes.展开更多
