NANOSTRUCTURED CALCIUM-SILVER PHOSPHATE COMPOSITE POWDER, METHOD FOR OBTAINING SAME, AND BACTERICIDAL AND FUNGICIDAL USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a nanostructured calcium-silver phosphate composite powder which can be used as a bactericide and/or fungicide, with similar effectiveness to that of commercial products and with low toxicity. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining said nanostructured calcium-silver phosphate composite powders, which comprises preparing nanometric calcium phosphate by means of a sol-gel process and subsequently depositing silver nanoparticles on the surface thereof. Said nanostructured powder can be used for the production of a bactericide and/or fungicide composition suitable for use as an all-purpose disinfectant to be used, for example, in surgical implants, public facilities, food, dentistry, paints, clothes and packaging.
