Abstract:

To enhance the value of calcium carbonate and develop its new application market,antibacterial nano-CaCO3@TiO2@Ag composites were fabricated by a two-step method using butyl titanate and silver nitrate as shell materials.The effects of reaction temperature,stirring speed,Ag loading capacity,reaction time,and aging time on the silver loading effect and loading mechanism were investigated.The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).The results showed that the optimal loading conditions for Ag were as follows:reaction temperature of 30 ℃,stirring speed of 350 r/min,Ag loading capacity of 10%(mass fraction),reaction time of 80 min,without aging time.Under the optimized loading conditions,amorphous TiO2 was uniformly loaded on the surface of nano-calcium carbonate by forming Ca—O—Ti chemical bonds to form CaCO3@TiO2.Then Ag+ was adsorbed and reduced under the action of organosilicon molecules to produce 5~10 nm silver particles coated on the surface of CaCO3@TiO2,and nano-CaCO3@TiO2 @Ag core-shell structure was obtained.The antibacterial tests demonstrated that the antimicrobial performance of nano-CaCO3@TiO2@Ag in powder coatings met the class I standard as outlined in GB/T 21866—2008 “Test method and effect for antibacterial capability of paints film”.

Key words: nano-CaCO3@TiO2@Ag, core-shell structure, antibacterial property
