Abstract
In this work, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were functionalized with silver nanoparticles using two different methods of incorporation. Characterization of these composites was done using Raman spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and the antibacterial properties were measured using method of dilution and plating. The four-point probe method was used to measure the resistivity of the nanocomposite thin films made via the spin coating method.
