Abstract
When silver nanoparticles are applied to antibacterial function, the particles should be positioned not in bulk but to the surface while minimizing the usage. This study proposes a method to compromise these problems. In the first report fine droplets of suspension containing silver particles were placed on a glass substrate with appropriate distance and dots were assembled after drying. Then the assemblies were transferred to another substrate on which UV resin was spin coated. Finally, an antibacterial surface was obtained. By adjusting the size and distance of the dots to compare the antibacterial activity of antibacterial surface with different quantity of nano-silver, a guideline to minimize the quantity of particles was discussed based on antibacterial performance.
