Nanomaterials for controlled metal release and process for their production

Abstract

In nanoparticles having formula (Me)(NR 4 + X - ) n wherein Me is the metal core selected from Ag, Cu, Sn and Zn; (NR 4 + X - ) is the shell, where X is selected from Cl, Br and I, and R is an alkyl chain C 4 -C 12 , the length of the alkyl chain is chosen to control the release speed of metal ions from the core; several types of nanoparticles all with equal chains in the same particle can form a composition for antimicrobial applications to fabrics and the like.
