Functional nanonetwork-structured polymers and carbons with silver nanoparticle yolks for antibacterial application.

Functional nanonetwork-structured polymers and carbons with silver nanoparticle yolks (∼20 nm) were successfully fabricated via hypercrosslinking chemistry. Benefiting from the hierarchical porous nanonetwork structure and high surface areas (up to 566 m2 g-1 ), the as-prepared nanocomposites demonstrated superior long-term antibacterial performances (e.g., 6 days).
